P is for Ponying - What you need to know to pony a horse safely - From the ABC's of Trail Riding

Are you able to lead a another horse from yours, and is your animal able to be led by a another horse? You should be. Ponying is not just a skill for packers but is an essential skill for every trail rider.
Put simply, ponying is the act of leading a horse alongside the animal you’re riding. It sounds simple but it’s a multifaceted job of riding your own horse while also paying attention to another, all while holding the reins in one hand and a lead rope in the other.
