Before you can fix the problem, you have to find out what it is. She could be trying to tell you something hurts, and your interpreting it as her misbehaving. You might want to learn horse body language if you don't already know it, or have a horse expert watch how you ride her or blanket her and ask them what they think. Or, better yet, get a vet out to make sure she is sound and happy.





What exactly does she do? When you ride, does she get mad when your only walking? The blanket I wouldn't be too concerned about, my mare always hated when I put the blanket on.. she accepted it fine, but she'd rather not have it on.





If you don't think you could train her yourself, or if your inexperienced, take her to a trainer or even board her for a month or two. When you board, there are usually people around who would love to help you or give you advice. Without knowing what exactly she's doing though, I have no clue how to help.





If she's bucking, and if she's ever bucked you off, take her to a trainer immeadiatly. Bucking not only destroys your confidence, but if she gets you off, it's a reward for bucking.. she'll realize the harder she bucks, the quicker she's done.





If she's just pinning her ears, don't worry too much about it. As long as nothing is hurting her, she could just be cranky somedays, or mad about leaving her buddies in the pasture/barn.

It takes a great deal of time to train some horses. My suggestion is to continue working with her. Maybe instead of say you are working with her for 15 minutes at a wack, work with her for 30 minutes at a time.
Try repeating the exercise. If she baulks when you put the blanket on her, discipline her--in what ever way you find appropriate- a good yank on the bridle is always enough to get their attention- pull the blanket off...and start again. Do it until she knows her fussing is NOT ACCEPTABLE. This makes for a long day for you- but will let her know what she can, and cannot do. I had one horse decide that walking past a mailbox was just not going to happen. I spent almost 2 hours walking past mailboxes; that day---but, after that, it was over.
Keep working with her, if you give up she will get worse. Most animals will see what they can get away with, if you let them do what they want, they will. Horses, like any animal need consistent training. Work with her ever day, you don't need to ride everyday, but you should work her daily.
