My sister is a polo player, and that is how she conditions and trains her horses to get them in shape- she rides one horse and ponies two others. As long as the horses in question get along with each other, the risk to them and to the rider is minimal. The danger comes in when the horse which is being ponied doesn't get along with the horse being ridden- and the result is often a fight or a kicking match. Ponying is a great way to exercise horses when it's not possible to ride them all the time- and it gets them fit without putting a lot of extra strain on their legs and back. In many ways, ponying is actually better for a horse than longeing would be, because it's possible for a ponied horse to go straight for short distances, instead of turning constantly in a circle all the time. This reduces the pressure on their shoulders, lower legs, and back. My sister uses a halter with a chain shank for ponying her horses, but it's quite common to see them ponied in bridles as well, especially at the track. To each his own, when it comes to this.<br><b>References : </b><br>Horse owner, horse professional turned medical coder.
