==========================================

I don't ride my horse in Distance-but rather just trail riding in the state 
park near where I board. My horse is an Arab/Saddlebred cross mare 16 years 
old.The trail goes from the riverin one directon through a campsite and on to 
other trails. She only wants to go in the direction of the river and not the 
campsite,it's not the camp she scared of , it's the trail to it which goes 
through some dense forest,bushey corners and plenty of deer pop in and out of 
the woods.The other day I decided to take this trail instead of the river 
trail,she put up a fuss all the way-stopping,backing up,and trying to hop up on 
her hind legs. We went though the woodsey part and onto the trail. She kept 
jumping at everything,then finally she convinced me to give up,by half-rearing, 
and spinning around while snorting. I was more frustrated than scared,we turned 
back she walked fast but still jumped at things. What do I do? Or what should I 
have done?
