alright so, even though I wont be riding her, my cousins could be, and before I have anyone on her, I want to have a great horse in-hand. I'm looking for ways to train her better inhand, so she's insync with me, I guess she doesn't look like she's following at the same beat, and there's definately room for improvement.

is that supposed to be Natural Horsemanship? she looks respectful but not really in sync with you...

Don't let your past, society, or the people around you dictate who you become...

just very very basics of it, the neck bending is a start. How do I get more 'in sync'? [: and that was just an idea on how to train her more natural horsemanship.

I know she's a miniature horse guys, and they dont get the same recognition as a fancy halter QH, but they need to be taught the right manners, so people with advice, it would be appreciated, and people who know how to get a horse to behave at it's best in hand please help. My cousins could in the future be doing horse shows with her, and she needs to be trusted 99.9%, so what do I need to improve, or what are some exercises to help with that? She's about 85% there.

This one is basically on riding, but the principals could apply to ground work, too:
