My bizarre mare wants to go away from home. Not sure where she thinks she is going but heading away she is serious about leaving, turn around and she dogs it. Weird.

Now, at the far end of the field I asked for a circle, she gave me this flattened version with much rubber necking thrown in for good measure.
What I did is I just asked her to circle with gentle corrections in her position until she settled down and started staying straight under me.
Does anyone have any other ideas?

thanks
