I took Birb for a spin after work yesterday, which was pretty entertaining because the hay is tall (so much snack opportunity) and because the boys had moved/rearranged the vehicles along the edge of the field in which we work. This obviously causes new locations of horse reflections (Birb is nominally "white" so he's kind of high-vis) against tinted windows and dark vehicle bodies and so forth. He does not like catching a glimpse of himself out of the corner of his eye behind him.

In preparation for the upcoming Dressage Schooling Show outing on June 7, we rode Training 1 and Training 3 a couple of times plus some additional canter work. There was a lot of spooking in the 20 meter canter circles. Like, half the circle (away from the relocated vehicles) was OK and then half of the circle (next to the vehicles) was a shitshow of spooking bullshit with skittery sideways, head in air, not a lotta brakes, sudden accelleration. Repetition did not improve things much. *sigh*
