I also agree you need to train her to lower her head to poll pressure, I start with just the halter and lead rope with gentle downward pressure and then release to reward when she drops her head slightly. Eventually you will get bigger drops and then you can start training her to keep her head low all the time.

Remember that horses move away from pressure, so I'd work on getting her to put her head down for you, when you put your hand on her neck. Maybe I can blog this or take a video for you this week to show you what I mean. Don't focus on getting her bridled, focus on getting her ready to bridle. I'd call her Lucy. But then I have a mare named Lucy and I think it's a great name!~The South Dakota Cowgirl~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01041226008516278509noreply@blogger.com
