Axel has been a bit hardy with training. He has been a very stubborn stallion with some mood swings along with that. Luckily he is finally progressing towards a better behaved stallion. The more we work with him the more he seem to wanna co-operate. So that is what we will do. Luckily we have a couple of round pens where there isn't alot of space to go around for him. Our tactic is to first let out his energy in the round pen and when he has calmed down a bit we take him to the arena where we work with him.

Calista was as calm as ever as she stood amongst the other entrants, ears still perked as she listened to the barely there whisperings of the small crowd; it was only a local show, after all. Not many competitors, not many watchers. Regardless, Calista almost seemed to be dozing the way she stood, mayhaps a bit bored with the lack of action her muscles were working with. As the judge passed them all, giving everyone a last glance, he returned shortly after. And Calista, as if sensing something her handler did not, perked up just enough to look as attentive as if she was waiting for her nightly meal. A ribbon was given, her first placing and at the head! With a polite and quiet thank you from her handler, Calista followed patiently behind as she was led away from the arena. Nothing seemed to spook her, not even nerves.
When Astrid first arrived at Sempiternal Stables, she was incredibly nervous. Getting her off the trailer was a grueling task, having taken nearly an hour and a ton of treats. As we walked to the stable, she made sure to take in her surroundings, watching some of our other horses in the arenas and pastures. One of my dogs ran out in front of us on the path - as he usually does - resulting in Astrid spooking and dragging me a short distance before I was able to get her to settle down. Once we got to her stall, she seemed to calm down a bit, and eventually fully relaxed. We've made sure to take everything slow with her, and give her as many treats as possible when trying something new. At this point, we've had her for nearly a week and she has become substantially less timid, and has begun to trust us and the horses that she has met in the pasture. She's slowly starting to show her true colors, and I can't wait to see her completely out of her shell!
