Ok so I have 2 problems I need help with:
#1 My mare shies away from alot of things but she is afraid of one side of the arena. I've tried lounging her on that side, walking with her on that side and just letting her sniff the scarey stuff but she still acts scared of that area. When I'm riding her on that side she won't go close to the wall. She stares at it and runs sideways away from it and doesn't yield to my legs. I would like to know how to stop her from spooking at that side or at least stop running sideways to get away from it.
#2 She always keeps her neck slightly turned to the left when I'm riding her (unless she sees something scarey on the other side). How do I get her to stop doing that?
