OR as nobody has mentioned yet maybe she doesnt like the line or has never been taught to lunge properly on the line?
I had an arab mare who had never been taught to lunge- didnt understand so would always turn in to you or would do a few trot steps then turn in and rear, we ended up teaching her to free lunge as it was the only way to properly make her stay out.
And to say that she doesnt like it my example- we have a beautifully educated mare, completely voice command under saddle and on ground and responds to slightest shift of weight. She lunges perfectly when free lunged- stays out near the roundyard fencing and never breaks pace...however when on a lunge line she gets upset (due to a history of mistreatment) and in her mind she thinks "the faster i go i can break the contact".
If on a lunge line she goes around as fast as she can and comes in extremely close to you and kicks out etc but never when free lunged.
Maybe see if your parents can rig up a makeshift round yard? Or is there someone you could get to come and be there whilst you are riding?
