Follow up: nervous pony question?
You dont need to be overly firm with her just start her doing exercises right away that need her full attention... give to the bit.. got that? how about give to the bit and side p to the right? can she still do that and be nervous? then add more things... give to the bit, side p to the right, then bend to the inside for 3 strides then outside bend for 3 strides then back and forth again.... get the idea? dont just ride forward, make her think what are you going to be asking for next.... this is what john lyons says to do in any situation like this... keep her mind and body so busy trying to keep up with your demands and cues she does not have time to worry about other things.... Dont try to figure out the why when there is really no answer just concentrate on a solution.... keep her busy with continuious exercises. Do you really think she is cold? She could be, work her on a lunge line first to get her blood moving and to get her warmed up.
