Hi,

Im looking after a 9month old filly for a friend. She sadly was orphaned at birth and very nearly died but my friend hand reared her and shes doing really well now health wise. The only problem is her temperment. Shes fine with my friend and seems to have taken to me for some reason but if anyone else goes near her she will fly at them at attack them. She even got up on her hind legs and someone the other day and boxed at them with her front feet! she really means business! is this quite normal for a hand reared foal to behave this way, and will she grow out of it as she gets older. I feel safe around her but if she still acts this way way when she is a fully grown horse she will be really dangerous!

any advice would be appreciated!

Sarah
