My loan horse (had her about 4 months) is seriously disrespectful. She refuses to he led from her field (easy to catch, but the moment you start walking she just plants her feet and refuses to move with you unless bribed with food, which stills takes ages), she throws (small) bucks about twice per ride if she's asked to do something, she barges through people on the ground, and she's started trying to bite me if I try to do work with her in-hand. She doesn't act this way as badly with her owner, so I feel like this is more of a respect thing (her owner is much bigger and more threatening than me!). I thought of trying a join-up to earn her respect and build up some more trust, however I've also seen that this isn't the way to go and there are other exercises I should do.
What's everyone else done with their moody disrespectful mares?
