As some of you may remember, from my previous threads asking for advice, I had a rescue filly come to me. As I mentioned she was untouched and had to be herded both on and off the trailer, and we created a 'chute' for her to be rounded into the stable on arrival. She behaved impeccably in a stable considering she had never been in one before. I soon found out she was anything but aggressive, just absolutely terrified of people. We spent hours together creating a trusting bond, she is a very inquisitive little girl. She arrived to me on the 1st December, and now on the 18th, I'd like to share how well we have been doing.

This is Mishka when I first saw her about 3 and a half weeks ago.

This is Mishka on the 7th of Dec once we could get close enough to get he rusty head collar off and have a little groom.

I feel in just over 2 weeks we have done very well together, she whinnys at the gate for me, she runs to me in the paddock, she loves a good scratch and she definitely thinks I'm the lovely lady who bring nice new foods! (She didnt know what a carrot was until she met me!) We have been wormed, de-loused and feet trimmed and vet checked and all is A OK!

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice, I am very, very pleased with how we both are doing and the bond we have created together. Hopefully with many more good times to come together!!
 
She is a gorgeous girl, looking so much happier and healthier in the short time you've had her. Looking forward to seeing many more updates!
 
Thanks everyone! Yes I really do hope that she can turn her hoof to anything, I'd ideally love to have her competing in some cross country but it really depends on how she grows to be, I'm not fussy though, she is beautiful to me however she grows up! She is only 14 months so the vet said, so she has plenty of changes to make still! I can assure you she is the same horse lol, just a dramatic change, lost our wormy-filled belly and looking a lot smarter :-) When I first got her, I didn't even realise she was a coloured horse, I thought she was a solid colour beneath all of the grub! Thanks again and I will keep you all updated!
 
Wow, amazing improvement in such a short space of time!

Just goes to show that a bit of time, patience and kindness is all they need.
 
she is gorgeous! what a beautiful face and colour. please keep us updated with pics, would love to see how she progresses!
