Thanks you guys, I really have bonded with this girl, her feet were so very sore when she got home, it took a long time to bring her "back". As I talked to people and learned about her history all I ever heard that she was "flighty" or wolfy" and hard to catch. I think she was just so glad to see me because I made her feet feel better when I came that we "bonded". That and the vet said her teeth were so bad her cheeks had callouses and old scars.
It's been three years since then.
She's only ever been a broodmare and though she moves like a dream that's the way she'll stay, I don't think she would handle the commotion of a show all that well.
She's a special lady and has come so far.
