My quarter horse mare is insane when I get on her back. Me and my horse savvy cousin have tried to get her to cooperate but nothing works. She runs through any bit we try her on and she won't budge with bosals or hackamores. She's also very fiery and tries to buck when asked to do something she doesn't want to do. She also doesn't lunge properly. Should I hire a proffesional trainer? Someone PLEASE help!

Yes. I say hire a professional. It sound like there are some major issues here that are better to be solved by a professional trainer, before you or your horse gets hurt.

I agree with Brat. It sounds like you've got some pretty serious stuff to work through. In the meantime, I would recommend doing a lot of groundwork. It sounds a little like respect issues, so make sure that she's attentive and responsive on the ground. But definitly get a professional to deal with the under-saddle stuff.

I agree 100%. Get a professional and in the meantime, do a lot of groundwork. Get a professional that will work with both you and the horse (so your BOTH learning) as it sounds like a respect issue.
Also, have you totally ruled out any physical issues? I'd get her vet checked (teeth, back etc.) just to be safe. That way you know for sure your dealing with a respect issue.

Vet and professional trainer are a good idea. Make sure when you say that she won't lunge well that it is all her and not some of you. If the horse has no respect for you than you really have to know how to get it on the lunge line, and if you aren't real experienced you might not realize you are actually doing something wrong. Not saying you are, just a thought biggrin

You should try groud work, it's really good with those trouble horses when ridden. Yes, you should probably get a trainer, but it's your horse, you can decide what's best for him...or her. smile
You want your horse to be responsive and coopertive when you mount.
