Astrid's first shows went poorly, but it gave us a lot of insight on what we need to work on. Her naturally nervous nature caused her to spook a lot during our in-hand class, so the first thing we did when we got back to our stable was begin desensitizing her. We started off slowly by just walking her around in the pasture like we would during the show, and having other people and horses moving around at the same time. She handled this well, so we brought her into one of the arenas and threw some tarps, pool noodles, and yoga balls in. She didn't really care about the pool noodles, but the yoga balls and tarps absolutely terrified her. We're still working on both, as well as incorporating a few more strange objects while we walk the arena. As for Dressage, I realized she really didn't care for, or maybe feel, my commands. I've started to have stronger contact, which has made a world of difference. I've never competed in dressage on a draft, so I didn't really take into account that she may not be as responsive. I've also been lunging her and giving commands to her while we lunge so I can see exactly what needs changing, so hopefully in the future we'll do better now that I have a bit more understanding of her.

Completed Prompt(s): Stable description (on storage page), horse settling in (Zephyr)

Zephyr was eager and curious about his new surroundings upon loading him out of the trailer. He seemed especially interested in our pastures so we'll be sure to let him out plenty so he can have room to run. When approaching the stable, he could easily smell our mare Dawnstar and he grew excited. Despite that, we were able to keep him under control and we showed him to his stall without too much trouble. Dawnstar seemed happy to have a new stable buddy.
