No advice, I think milliepops is probably your girl for in the ring tenseness.
Haha! Poor Kira, has she got a reputation?
If he was good in the warm up then probably more about the change of environment than anything else? Sounds familiar, and in which case, as everyone else has said the best thing you can do is get plenty of match practice. I have found that arena hire anywhere and everywhere has really helped Kira because 5 mins to welly round a dressage test isn't long enough to get them over the demons of the new space. And then as the training at home develops, you can insist on better quality work as well.
I also try to get K really on the aids as we go round the arena before the bell, this seems to be more effective than letting her look too much because things look different from the inside of the white boards anyway
