Hi, my new horse is quite nappy when I try to hack her out on her own. She suddenly decides she does not want to move forward anymore and constantly snatches the reins when she turns around. She always snatches to the right so I am on to her now but it's quite annoying as whilst she is going forward I'm always expecting her to turn right very abruptly. What is the best thing to do here? I make a point of turning her back the same way (to the left) but it becomes a hard fight. I have to keep circling her in order for her to move forward....

Any suggestions?
