Well having owned my 'quirky' mare for 2.5 years her new habit at XC clinics and schooling is to sharply spin 180 degrees to the left and run back to the lorry park/ other horses. We have had here saddle done, teeth checked, back done, ovaries scanned so now I am looking for someone to help resolve this issue. She also will sometimes vertical rear but we have managed to stop this. I have a 2'9" ODE in 2 weeks and feel I need some help before this. If I am heading home/ to lorry she jumps fine it is just leaving those areas
 
Where are you?
What age is your mare?
Sounds like insecure behaviour, if everything else has been checked out - a friend of mine is brilliant at dealing with this sort of problem, she is in Wiltshire.
 
I am on the surrey/ Sussex border 5 mins from Gatwick. My mare is rising 11yo backed late at 7.5years and I know before I got her she'd been previously sold and was totally dangerous so was sent back to where I bought her from. She trusts me 100% ont he grond it's just riding
 
Heya .. I Had a really naughty horse he sued to bronk , rear , nap , bit ., kick .. You name it he did it..!
I had him for about a year constantly trying to fix his probelm . it was such a shame because he was an amazing showjumper and would have really been something special.
Anyway , i sent him to a man Mark Smith who is now my trainer , based in Berkshire and he did a fantastic job..! We really did manage to get his "nughtyness" In control. however every knowen and then he'd have these random out bursts and he'd go apsotly mental ... In the end i had to move on and we had to dell him as a compainion. It was such a shame. However Mark had done a fantastic job and i would recomend him to anyone that si having problems..! Hes bought me anf my horse on from 2'6 jumping tracks to Pre Novice. And Newcomers.
 
I have been told many times that I have the perseverence of a saint with my horse, however 99% of the time she is fab I just need her to give me that 1% now and I have a top horse
