Mamaflinter can you contral the food or water that the hostile filly gets?If she understands that you give her norishment maybe she will come around to you.I have never had to deal with what you described about her and I hope I never do. This is only an ideal it might be bad or good but I wish you the best of luck and remember tokeep everyone safe. Joe N.

Joe No we aren't able to control the food/water she gets. They are currently running "free" on about 100 acres with free access to grass and water.
Sunday we will have help to remove the filly from this piece of property and after that happens, we will work diligently with getting the other 2 horses back to the point they were before she was introduced again.
She does know we have goodies when we come as we seldom go over there without some grain for all of them. But that doesn't keep her from laying those ears back and pawing at us.
We went over there Tuesday and she did the same thing (laying ears back and pawing) at Doug and he smacked her on the rump with a riding crop and after that, she actually settled down. I even got to give her a couple of scratches on her back. Of course this was through a fence and I was watching her intently in case she did a spin and kick or something. I also even got to touch the gelding and scratch him a bit. This was something I hadn't been able to do since the filly had been reintroduced.
