Which filly? The boarding one with the mother?

The dangerous one. Where the owner didnt want much to do with it. And it was jumping all the fences

Well we put them both in the round pen for the night. The following day we moved one of my herds out of their field, which is totally away from the rest of the fields and horses, and moved this herd into the driveway field.
We then moved the filly and her mother into their field - and left them there. The fencing in this field is 5ft tall so they won't escape from there in a hurry. They will just have to stay there for the rest of the winter until further fields can be made for them, if they remain here.
The filly hasn't learned a thing, although short-term she did seem to be better. She is still just as evil as she was before and for now this seems the best we can do under the circumstances.
What fun eh?

Tia, I read the other posts about this filly, but haven't replied to any of them yet.
I think you're being far too soft, with the owner!!
If I was you, I'd tell her to either spend the money, get the vet out to have her checked over, and to do some work with her, or tell her to get the thing off your property!
I mean, you've just turned your place upside down for them, and OK, she might not be a danger to any of the other horses or their owners now, but I assume you still have to go in there, to feed, hay, check etc?
It's not worth risking your neck for someone else's horse, if that person either doesn't care, can't be arsed, or can't afford to at least try to solve the problems THEIR horse is causing! She can't be paying you that much for field livery!
Sorry if this sound like a bit of a rant, but I'm feeling opinionated tonight

Now the colt with the leg injury is completely and utterly amazing! I must get out there with my camera - you honestly wouldn't believe the difference. I actually think when it has totally healed that there won't even be a scar visible.
He's a blanket spotted appaloosa - great little guy!

Well I don't have to have anything to do with handling the horses where they are now. All feed is fed from rubber buckets which slide under the fence and all hay is mechanically put into the feeders from outside of the field. Mind you I was standing with her today and she was fine - hubby came up to speak to me and she immediately turned her butt on him and was ready to fire at him! She really is a dreadful horse. Owner came up just a little while ago and asked if we wanted her to take them away - we said no so long as she was happy with them being segregated from the rest of the horses then they were fine where they are.
I get $400 per month from her; this has the buying power of £400, so it really isn't to be sneezed at for not having to do anything in particular with them. They can stay and maybe in the Spring we will devise a plan, once the Melt has been and we can put more posts in the ground and build more fields, to separate them both....with the owners help!

OK, $400 is a fair amount and if you don't really have to go near her for now then it's not to bad I suppose.
I also appreciate that the weather where you are doesn't really make things any easier, but it still needs to be sorted eventually though, as it's not probably really possible to keep her separate from other horses for the rest of her life, is it?
