WHAT SHOULD I DO! I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START!!!! but the biggest problem i think it she wont listen, she dosnt care that if she runs into a fence if it hurts her or you she just wants her way! WHAT SHOULD I DO! i dont have a arena or a round pen! help me!!!!!

PROFESSIONAL TRAINER. That's all I can say on this issue. This is a DANGEROUS HORE that needs some professional help.
Good Luck

I would. If you cannot even deal with this horse, you should either sell her with ALL the info on the table, or get some money together and send her to a trainer.
I'd take her for you if you were closer. I love fixing horses like this for people. I don't charge much either. But again, I"m all teh way in Texas.

I don't think you need a professional trainer unless your scared of the horse. My horse used to rear all the time (ask kiwi'sgirl). I got to scared of him at a point where I just stopped riding him. But then I realized it was either sell him or keep him - so I got back on. He had the same attitude where if he got mad he would rear. If I nudged him to walk forward, he would try to rear - thats how bad it got. Personally, to break his habit of rearing, the first thing I did was relax - b/c I was waaay nervous. I would squeeze my legs for him to go forward and if he started to go up I'd "check" him. Meaning, I would pull the rein either to the right or the left - FAST - not a hard yank, but enough to throw him off. And honestly when I first did this we were just zig - zagging across the ring. But after a few rides of doing this he just gave up and started to work again. When ever he would attempt to rear after that I would do the same thing, or if he did it before I could pull him to the side I would throw a fit. I would smack him really quick on both sides of his neck (not his head! but close to it) and scream "NO NO NO!" He would stop trying to rear then b/c he was shocked, he didn't know it was coming. Now he's much better, he canters, walks, trots, jumps, everything and is just the horse I knew he could be.
