My family is my team. My unbelievable husband is our pony and horse trouble shooter. If any animal has an issue with anything (picking up feet, nervousness, touchy spots, etc.) we just point the issue out to my husband Fred and he's on it. His extremely calm demeanor never fails to relax the horse.
My kids are my pony trainers. After ground driving the ponies and / or teaching them to pull a cart, the next step is trail riding. Each of my children put many trail miles on the ponies before I offer them for sale.
And of course Fred, myself (Cheryl) and all the kids are the barn's "stable hands."
