After coming out of every ride in tears I've finnaly decided to send my horse away to a problem horse trainer. Anyone no of one? The cheaper the better.
 
phpony it might be more helpful to know a few more detials!!!
Where are you???
You say as cheap as possible - but this is NOT always possible - A cheap job might not always be a good job.
What sorts of experience do you have???
is the horse young? Ex racer? Problems spooking, being lazy, bolting, or not doing canter pirrouetes and piaffee well enough?!?!?!

Is it a posibility to sell it and find something a bit nicer!?

Whoa there, steady up here. I've now sent 2 away to really good and expensive trainers. Always come back great but then as soon as they realise its me again (2 weeks) they have always regressed back. The problem is with the combination and not the horse. This is not criticism but you need to think in terms of training for BOTH of you. Last year sent away my youngster to BE. Did great but when he got home we still couldn't jump 60cm - course not cos I hadn't ridden all the months he was away.

I'm in nottighamshire . She is the most well mannered pony I've ever seen on the ground but completly opposite to ride, she's VERY strong I nightmare to hack and bolts to jump. Ive thought about selling her but I don't belive anyone would buy her and I don't think I could bring myself to anyway

The thing is though its me or no one. I've had riders that claim to be alot better than me on her and have no idea how to Händel her. Her naughtyness dosnt put me of I just can't bare the sight of her dripping in sweat after every ride
 
Hi...sorry to hear you are having problems. I have been there and you have my sympathy. If you were prepared to send your horse to the Shrops/Worcs borders area then try Janet George. She totally sorted my horse out, and also made sure that I could deal with him when he came back. You will go and ride the horse at her place under supervision before you bring him home. She is on the forum regularly, search for Janet George and PM her. Rates are very reasonable too.
Good luck :)
