Try using a rope halter ( it is a sharper pressure on the pole ) or the no
pull halter, be nice halter. Do some ground work, she needs to respect
pressure on her pole. The bungie lead ropes work good too, they wear them
out and they get tired of pulling.  Leading and reinforcing the word HO!
they need to have a cue to get their attention on you and what you want.
