As the title! I lunged another horse today and he went round beautifully for me!

Everytime I lunge my own she makes me really work to keep her going, constantly stopping, turning in and firmly planting her feet!!!

Must be like other people's children always behaving when they're with you...!

horses sometimes respect a stranger more....bit like some horses are a bit more aware when its a man handling them than a woman.
 
I would ask the other owner to lunge your horse than see if she does the same thing for her. It could be something you are doing wrong and the other owner has trainer her horse or it could be like the others have said your horse knows you love her lots and don’t REALLY want her to work....
