CSU arena, second trip

It took a little time to get Calypso in the trailer for our second trip. He did stay in place, looking out of the window.
When we arrived, every thing went smoothly. We walked around the arena, no toys to play with or spook at. I got on his back and we walked, with out a lead horse. We went from one side of the arena to the other keeping Calypso between my hands and walking straight forward.
Then I got behind Connie and asked her to trot and walk so I could follow her and give Calypso some confidence to trot. He was hesitant of trotting in that huge arena. Much different than in my round corral. After a few times around the arena, he relaxed and trotted at ease.
We hung out for a while, then loaded up and headed back home.
Another nice outing.
