How do you prevent one of your pair from trying to scratch his head on his partner, or the yoke, etc.? Now that the weather has warmed up and I still have fairly woolly ponies, one of my pair (the green one) gets awfully itchy under the bridle when he starts to sweat, and who can blame him? Should I concentrate on relieving his itch, or just try to get him to be on his best behavior while hitched? How do I scold one without punishing the other? (Maybe this is a separate topic) When I say one name very firmly, the other (who is a sensitive little guy) gets his feelings hurt right away, and he was being good so that's not fair to him. Should I touch the naughty one on the neck with the whip? He can handle it, not the sort to get upset at the whip, but it gets a little frustrating to me to be constantly at him. There must be a better way. Any suggestions?
