But if I only ride him for 10 minutes there's little chance I'll come off, any longer than that there's a very high possibility..
But after a few minutes of being on my nerves DO settle..

Thanks,

Hi Missy

Awww i remember being your age with my first pony, i used to come off all the time!!! Perhaps some lessons him will help? Trouble is if you only ride him for 10minutes he is still very fresh and not getting enough work so he will be more kean and naughty because he has lots of energy.

Is there a more experienced person that could lunge him for you first before you get on? Sounds like you've lost your confidence abit thats all and ponys always know they're cheeky little monsters! My dad and brother are farriers and see lots of ponies that develop laminitis and once he has got it he'll always be prone to it and its a very dangerous disease.

By the way, what you're doing with those rabbits is amazing.
Unfortunatley I can't take any on, mam and dad won't let me.
