How long have you been riding her for? If you haven't been riding her long, you might get more confidence in her after a while and learn to trust her more, and then it will be fun!!

If you really don't think she is your kind of horse and that you will never enjoy her as much as you would a clamer horse, then I'd look for another one to share. Theres no point if you are not enjoying it.
 
I would maybe have a look around see what other sharers you can find. If you aren't 100% happy on her then maybe it is worth finding one to share which you will get more enjoyment out of.
 
Why not sit down and speak to the owner of the horse, and ask for her help, it may be a particular technique you have to learn to stop her. The owner may come up with some suggestions as to what to do, or she may suggest a different bit for when you ride her. I doubt she will bite your head off, she is obviously happy for you to share her horse, so talk it through with her what you are having a problem with and together you will both probably come up with a solution that works. Good luck
 
I was like this with my horse for over a year. I felt I was letting him and myself down..I came to my senses a over 2 years ago. Sit calm, think positive. I enjoyed a lovely canter round and round one lovely huge field this afternoon. He was very very headstrong, He just likes to go. I stopped him, We were happy. Get mad at yourself, not your horse. I think it's a confidence thing, Just say to yourself you can control your horse in any situation. Think about all the really good things you did in the past with her.. like jumping a big jump or having a really good gallop. Getting riding lessons might help your confidence on her.
