My 4 yr old arab mare has been going wonderfully

till the last few rides, she has only been under saddle

since last August.   She is usually a very brave, forward

moving horse.   I use a D-ring snaffle on her.   The last

couple of rides she refuses to go and starts to back up,

when I make her circle to go forward she eventually

starts to buck.   I have managed everytime to get her to

go forward but it makes for a very tiring ride when she

does this every 5 minutes.   I have only been riding her

once or twice a week on very short rides and she is not

worked hard at all.   Any hints?????
