Do you have access to a small arena, large stall, or a round pen? You could try free lunging her, and giving her something interesting to do, like go over a pole or small jump

I have a round pen and I am 2 minutes from an arena!

If she wants to go fast and not listen, make her bored. I have a barrel horse that wants to be all gas and no breaks, which is usually what I ask for to be fair, but if I want her to slow down and start really listening to learn something new, I'll pick a place in the pasture and just start trotting circles. I use both hands on the reins for as long as I need to show her where the circle is, then we I loosen up the reins and trot circles for as long as it takes for her to relax. I know she's relaxed when I can switch directions without contact on the bit and stop with minimal contact. By that time, she's doing a slow, smooth trot because she knows that she isn't really going anywhere and going fast isn't going to change anything. Then, we can work on whatever slow thing I want to work on with it. It's just a matter of letting her know that there's no reason to go fast and that she can have her head and relax. Works wonders for her.


I rode her today and tried this, and she was a lot better, she was giving me a nice slow trot, she would still try to bust into a dead run when j asked for a canter, but I will take the small victories!

My friend has a trainer she uses on her horses that I am considering having come out and see if he has any tips or ideas.


A trainer sounds like your best bet. He'll be able to troubleshoot better in person than people can online :)

Maybe try and get the trainer out? And in the meantime just try to make headway on her trot, and don't worry so much about cantering until you can get help.
