Training a pony to be kids safe

This is Sophie. She had anxiety issues when I got her two years ago, that has been addressed. Now it's time to teach her to be bullet proof for a kid to ride.

I don't use treats because I want to see the real horse in front of me and one that's not influenced by food.

Teaching her to accept the halter, or in this case a rope loop, over the head head on is useful if you have to put something on over a fence.
