Just an update on my poor girl
Iginis - aka roly poly is very frightened - she will not let you touch her and if you do her body shakes and she panics - its going to be such a long road but shes lovely bless her not in anyway nasty - its hard for her - today she let me stand as close as I physically could without touching her and was fine head down resting a back leg I feel so dreadful for her

Gem,
I am sure she will eventually realise that you mean her no harm. Lancia is also very nervous although she will now let me touch her and even will stand for a while whilst I stroke her. Fire seems even worse than Lancia so I hope she starts to trust you soon, it is so difficult with these horses as we don't know what they have been through!

Gem - I have been off line for ages _ work commitments . Where did you get your new girl from..
I have just seen all the links to horses in France - Is this where.
I am looking for a horse about 15.2 up - but think I would be scared to get one from France.
Can some one explain the process to me.

Hello Yes she came from France - best person to pm is Lucy or Sarah as they fully understand the process but basically the only worry with them coming over from France is that you dont really know why they were there in the first place so any guarantee that they could be ridden - Most people have been very lucky so far with their horses and they are quiet and good to handle - Sarah and I both have a lot of work to do with wee wild beasty and roly poly and Bonita too - horses that dont want to be touched and are basically untouchable at this point though Sarah managed to stroke them yesterday its going to be a very long road but we will get there with them, also poor Tia has had to cope with the fact Rose came over very poor and was a bit ill, although she is picking up now. I do know though that the French trotter stud book has changed and many trotters have been sent for meat purely because they are no longer suitable as brood mares - also you may get lucky with a younger horse as they are less likely to have been so damaged. My girl is doing well and is now eating out of a bucket so she will get there it will just take time and patience and not needing anything from them

oh Gem i'm so glad you got this girl she couldn't have asked for a better person to help her overcome her fears and trust issues. I know in time she'll come round and then the bond you'll have with her will be so incredibly special.
