I suggest you add something noisy, like a loud referees whistle. In the round pen, wave the flag & if she ignores you then aggressively sprint at her sharply blowing the whistle. This should prompt her to move & when she does lower the pressure so as to only encourage her to keep moving not continue to flee in panic. Remember, a horse cannot come to you unless it has 'gone away' & as Monty stresses "don't go away a little, go away a lot"! Keep the flag waving a lot in front of you to avoid sprinting into a kick & keep this short, sharp shock to a minimum if the filly cooperates. Good luck. Cheers, Jo.
