I have recently acquired a nearly 2yr old Paint filly, she had very little handling before she came to me and after working with her she is now having her headcoller put on/taken off, she is leading (albeit stop/start) she ties up, has been brushed and had rugs on/off.
I am also trying to work with her as she is very grumpy around food, although is making very small improvements all the time.
She has never had her feet picked up or anything else apart from what I've mentioned above.
Just after some advice on what sort of things to do with her to gain her trust a bit more and for things to start working on.
I have a Dartmoor yearling, he came to me as a wild 4mth old but has been so extremely easy to train and is now like a dog. He doesn't panic in any situation and ever has really.
My filly is obviously a lot bigger and older than he was when he was unhandled so it's a very different experience with her
