- Center of Gravity: Female riders (lower center of gravity) fare better in the "pony shuffle"—a side-pass maneuver used when a led horse refuses a creek crossing.
- Gloves: Pony work shreds leather gloves. New brands focusing on female riders are now producing kevlar-reinforced gloves with smaller finger holes specifically for the smaller hands of women in the industry.
