I don't know whether 'leaning' is the right word really....she's fine on the left rein but on the right rein, I constantly have to use my inside hand to the point where I have to walk as my right arm is aching so much!! She doesn't grab and take hold but she is constantly wanting to go left or look left, doesn't matter how much left leg I use, I have even tried a whip on her left shoulder. If I move my right hand a teeny bit forward she will come off the circle and go left! It's very frustrating as our schooling period depends on how long my right arm can hold out for!! I ride her in a French link snaffle.

My friend thinks a sort of napping as she's trying to go in!

Anyone any ideas on any exercises I could try? thanks in advance!

Sounds like she is sitting on her right shoulder. You need to use your right (inside) leg to push her off that shoulder which should also create and inside bend and put the weight back evenly between both reins.
