Poor Lucy! She may be afraid of vehicles. This takes time and good horsemanship to overcome. If you can work with her in a small area like a corral or pen by herself, it will be much easier to allow her to get to know you without having the other horses interfere. Give her time, and if you can try your best not to scare her she will come around.
