Hi Shirley I have a similar Bellcrown Shetland carriage and I am 5' tall. I use a foot rest and initially got the assistance of my instructor to help balance the carriage for myself and my husband who is my reular groom. Best wishes, Morag |

Shirley,
I am also new to this, and I have a two wheeler and new 13.2hh pony. We had problems with his behaviour and found that the carriage was not correctly balanced and there was weight on his back that could have been upsetting 'the applecart'!
I understand that balancing the 2wheeler is vitally important, and so I would presume that a step to help you sit in the correct position would be your best bet.
There are many more experienced people on here than me, but it is always nice to have contact with others who are starting out and in the same position as myself.
I hope you get it sorted out, it's all been a huge learning curve for me,Good luck!
