The Ma-tzu found herself walking slowly to the barn, she wasn't all that enthusiastic since she found herself doing more here than she did in Phoenix Valley. Despite it, she didn't complain, but her body was more sore and tired which showed in her posture today. Coming up to the ranch she noticed the doors already open and for a moment she got her hopes up that someone else was going to aid her in taking care of all the beasts. Those hopes were dashed when she noticed that he was only taking one of the new additions out and training. She remained quite as she looked over to the mare wondering if that was his horse too, and how he acquired the large horses in the first place. Though, really it was none of her business and the shy wolfess wouldn't bring herself to ask such forward questions, especially to another member.


After a minute of watching him, she began to work giving them all fresh water and a mixture of oats, barley and other wholesome grains for the horses. She also divided up the alfalfa which she enjoyed giving to them more so than the other hays since it was richer and gave them more energy or just fattened them up, either way they loved it and she loved spoiling them. Her eyes looked back to the young male, normally she would release them all into the pasture but feared distracting the horse he was working with so she held off on that task and instead decided to take a closer watch of him and his technique. Her eyes looked back to Adela, her mare, then back to the new face. A light smile on her face then she spoke, "Are you able to give him more slack? A wider gait would blow more energy out of him..as I assume that is all you're wanting to do with him.." A shy smile formed upon her muzzle as she approached the fence to take a seat upon it to watch more.


Her eyes took in how he moved with the stallion and she wondered exactly what type of training he would use to break his horses. Some used negative reinforcement, while others used positive...which would he be? Adonia used both, but many found it wrong but the results were undeniable. Adela was quick to respond and became a great horse as she, when given the chance, would follow Adonia around the pasture when she groomed the other horses. Of course, grooming them out of pasture would be easier, Adonia found it more fun as the horses got to graze while she worked. A win win in her mind.
