I rode phill today, really concentrating on getting her to listen to my seat and legs and not using my hands as much.. However i am having a lot of trouble with her running on.. at the moment i'm half halting all the time but it doesn't seem to be doing anything, slows her down for half a circle then she starts running again..

Is she getting on her forehand? It could be because she's too forward and getting out of her rhythm. I would slow her right down and get her to sit on her back end more. Come out of walk into an almost trot and really work on varying the speed within the pace so she really doesn't know what you're going to ask next and so starts to really listen to you. It works for me anyway :)
