Today was a much better day, I expressed my concerns to my dressage instructor she told me that my mare was very intelligent and has a lot of things going on in her head, she suggested that I do a lot of random transitions so that she is following my lead rather than thinking ahead of me, so today I went into school and set out a course of trotting poles I did random halts, change in directions, walk to trot she did however try and take over by going into canter a couple of times so I did more transitions until she stopped doing it and listened to what I was asking,we then had a walk out, her head was low as we walked up road to moor, not once did get head go up , I came off the normal track and went across the harder terrain she was constantly having to look where she was going up hill down hill round in circles ,she was completely calm not one spook amazing she wasn't her usually giddy self to get home either im on cloud nine
