Hi
I have a loan mare that I love. She can be quite moody at times. Recently She can get a bit excited when hacking, couple weeks ago started trying to bronch when going into trot and did a couple mini rears, I managed it though and stayed on. Think she was annoyed because one of the other horses we were with kept walking off. She is hard to get going in the menage, takes such a lot of effort because shes lazy.
Put my DD9 on her and shes brilliant in the menage and listens to her instructions. Today I took her out on a hack with DD riding and she was brilliant again.
Ive lost my confidence when riding and feel like I dont want to ride (but I do if that makes sense.) On the day im riding I literally wont think of anything else and will work myself up.
I just want to get on and enjoy it. Any tips please?

Behind the leg in the ménage and bucking and bunny hopping when asked to go forward? I’d be checking for ulcers/sharp teeth
