I have a horse that I've been working with and was doing great then all of a sudden he just stopped listening ,I had ridden him and trotted and then he gets attitude and wants to control while under saddle the last few times. I'm honestly too scared to even get on him now,even after I get ground work good. I'm confident in trotting but I feel like if I try to canter even with good ground work he might buck or rear. I've only ever had him buck or rear is when he had lots of energy in the beginning or when he absolutely doesn't wanna listen.
Nine times out of 10 when you have a sudden behavioral change with a horse it is because the horse is experiencing some kind of pain. And that is usually when they start to act out. I would highly recommend that you evaluate your horse for any kind of pain and actually have them that checked. It can be anything from ulcers to actually just needing some Chiropractic work or in some cases they might even have a toothache. That can all affect the way that the horse will work with you as well. Now the problem is once they started acting out it also undermines your own confidence. And then you lose trust in the horse and that may actually transfer over to the horse not trusting you as a leader. So it can compound.

If you've rolled out any pain that the horses experiencing I would highly recommend getting a trainer to come watch and evaluate how things are going. It can really help having another perspective. Sometimes is really can be attitude. Check out more training for respect and control videos. Go back to the foundation and look for holes. ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBiS44qsw4EKbqcwphyrO1lU
Have you ever dealt with a horse that would run straight to the gate when riding? My mom has a new gelding that bolts to the gate under saddle. Shes too nervous to ride him after being ran through the barn!
That's an indication of barn sour behavior and can be very dangerous. He got away with it and now the problem could get worse if not corrected. Encourage her to lunge him a lot especially near the gate. Only rest comes away from the gate.

She will continue to not feel safe unless the problem is addressed.
