I love big horses too

Aww she is beautiful! I love darker horses - and they are so much easier to keep clean.
I may be a bit biased (as a natural horsemanship fanatic:lol but you should try some parelli or something with her Beth to stop her being so bargy. Believe me - it works! Smokey used to knock me out the way if he saw another horse coming but now he backs up at me just shaking my finger at him.
He's very left brained!

Ah that's understandable, but you can still do stuff with her around the stable to teach her manners. If she ever pushes herself into your space push her back (start with light pressure, then get stronger until she responds and release right away), never let her swing her hindquarters in your face, and a good method is to get her to back up by shaking her leadrope (while attached to her head collar) but stopping as soon as she responds so she learns to respond to pressure (horses naturally lean on pressure).
Horses learn by leadership - so make sure she knows you are her leader.
How big is she btw?
