Location: where the wind blows		I've got a 6 year old very green broke mare.  She wasn't started until fall of her 4 year old year.  Spent 4 months with a trainer.  I rode her afterward off and on that winter, no big issues to speak of.  She was still pretty green but would lope cirlces both ways, basically had a good start on her.  She's had very sporadic riding since then and now she has become super sensitive and cinchy to saddle, super sensitive in the flank area and the top of her head.  It's driving me crazy.  My son has rode her a couple times this spring to chase cows.  Today I tried to ride her in my arena.  I worked with her on the ground for a long time playing with the stirrups and just generally trying to desensitize her a bit.  Got on and walked around she was fine.  As soon as I tried to do an easy jog she would try to refuse to go right.  Turned her head to the left and would stand there.  I would get her going back to the right after a lot of bumping and tugging.  It was more or less a bit of a war.

I'm just starting to wonder if ulcers could be an issue?  Although she's been running in a pasture all spring, has buddies out there and is in good shape.  I did just have her teeth done last week by my regular dentist.

This horse is frustrating me.
