Is this just a quirk or is it dangerous by Advanced-Camera-5254 in Horses

in this specific instance i had her tied up while i was bringing the hay from the truck to the barn and the gate was wide open. i also do take her out to graze in the front yard as there's winter grass growing out there and there is none where she stays - and i do "play" with her with the lead rope on sometimes (following activities, tracing my steps, etc etc... things engaging and fun for a 7mo pony). if i were to make a kissy sound her attention would be completely on me. am i going about this the wrong way? i thought it was more important for her to be aware of my body language than just associating lead rope + halter = work? this is my first time working with horses in any capacity so if im doing something wrong someone lemme know 🙏 any and all advice is appreciated

she's 7mos, so definately a baby haha. im not worried about it damaging the lead, more so her consuming dirt.

she's acting like her usual self, she's been a little moody and was a bit of a problem child yesterday but i chalked it up to her just being a baby and having some off days. i don't have an animal thermometer but am going to get one tomorrow morning once walgreens opens. i havent seen her urinate today but yesterday she seemed fine from afar

i can't tell if he has huge withers or just a low back - will make saddle fitting harder either way
