Smile 2 yr old filly advice please

i brought my filly last march on her first birthday she was and is lovely she stood at 14 hh she would catch, lead, pick up feet and load without any problems i get her home she was brilliant i could even lay with her in the stable using her as a pillow lol for about 3 months, then she started playing games like im a tree (planting her self), we over come that by me haveing more patiants then her lol, then bolting in from the field we over come that by everytime she went to bolt id turn her and walk back to the field, i repeated this for 30 mins somedays till she stopped and walked in calm that worked we over come that then we started rearing when being lead back to the field, we over come that by me ignoring her and carring on walking that worked .before the winter came last yr i was getting her used to wearing rugs she accepted them with no problems, 3 moths ago we moved to germany were she loaded and was fine on the lorry with the transport company in there hands for a week she was brill she turns up her all confident but now we are having trust problems she had her first season about a month ago, whilst in season i couldnt get anywear near her apart from if i had food and if i tried to touch her she would back up buck and run she was like that for 2 weeks i spent alot of time just talking to her stroking her face and slowly she let me touch most of her again, but the other day i had a tracor in the field digging the whole for the ground work to there new stables and she was very intrested in the tractor to intrested if u get wat i mean so my boyfriend and friend had to keep her away. her being very strong headed she was running through them bucking at them and so on tilll she got back to the tractor. but noone hurt her or even touched her but now i can only stroke her face no where else its like we have loads of trust to some trust to no trust everytime something different happens how do i get her to over come this, she is used to tractors as my naigbour is always in his field with it she fine with cows and dogs and so on but everytime someone new goes in the field she losses all trust in me even if im not in her view as my house backs on to the field i can see everyone that goes in and out so know one has done anything to make her lose trust is this just a faise she is going through she now stands at 16hh so she can be quiet scary to people who dont know her . any advice on trust would be be handy thank you.
