Horse is being a straight up *****, help!?

You have a serious issue here and you deserve a well thought out detailed serious answer.

Unfortunately it is not possible in this space.

But, Clinton Anderson did a very good detailed series on retraining the OT TB.

Start by getting this horse on hay and off grain as much as possible.

He / She needs to be in a paddock or pasture not cooped up in a stall.

Get the DVD and watch it a hundred times, or download it.

How long have you had her? Considering she's off the track she may have a fear of being urged faster or going along a fence line or something like it. You have to consider that most of the race horses get their senses whipped out of them to try to get them to go faster while on the track. She may be scared that as soon as she gets up there, she won't meet your expectations. Do you work on the ground with her? Groundwork can help with this kind of stuff a lot of the time because she may not want to do it because she doesn't trust you. By establishing a good relationship on the ground, she might trust you more and trust your guidance to do certain things. If you urge too hard, you might just scare her or make her more angry. If you try the same thing over and over, it's likely hat you'll get the same result you've gotten over and over and you won't make things better. Try a new approach :)

Oh dear! That doesn't sound like fun at all. My horse can be like that too. I urge her on and she goes sideways or backs up. It's very annoying.

I get my horse going in circles when she acts like this. "Spin her" as a good friend of mine would say. Just get her going round and round until she is sick of it. Then urge her on and see how she responds. The main thing is not to let her win. If she throws you off, get right back on and show her who is boss. If you have a round pen, you might want to get her in there first.

That's about all I can suggest. All the best!

You did not say how long you have owned her?? If y ou have had her for some time and in the past she has worked well and you got along with her then you could have over done her so she hates to work. or you have a little bit at a time let her cheat on you and now she has resorted to rearing, which by the way can get you dead.

You don't mention a saddle fitter, or if she has been vetted for mare issues, her overies might be be hurting her.

Has she ever performed correctly? How long has she been off of the track?

You have a normal untrained off the track Thoroughbred, send the horse to a real horse trainer.
