Pony exercises

So me and my friend are on a mission to train, building muscle and work with some ponies. I thought maybe y'all have some lunging exercises, tips, routines. Most of the ponies are not available for us to work with (soon to be baby mamas), but two of them are younger and perfect for us to start the work. We've seen one jumping so she has scope and all but she do pulls on the lunge line and refuses to jump from the left lead (as far as I know). Another problem is one of them prefers to jump trot poles which can get quite dangerous, they both do well while trotting but it's hard for them to pick up canter although if they do they pull on the lead a lot. So that's what I know and I'd think that before we start working, we should hear some tips from you. (Sorry if something doesn't make sense I really rushed writing this haha)

Basic commands on a lunge line! Stop, walk, trot, and eventually canter. From there I prefer doing halt, walk, trot, transitions to really engage and develope back ends. When the canter is learned, you can add that into the mix. Properly done your pony will learn balance, hind end engagement, and foot placement. From there you can add poles or small jumps.
