Mouse is beginning to trust! VERY slowly but she has actually reached out and touched me 2x now, on her own! She has discovered that having someone scratch her withers feels pretty darn good too. As long as I move slowly and talk to her constantly, she allows me to scratch her shoulders and back.
She still doesn't trust a lead rope. I've been working with her, rubbing it on her when she is "caught" to show her it won't always hurt her. Poor girl. She could have been an awesome pony.
Here she is today, getting ready to move to live with Robin in WA....
