January 16, 2014 Weave Practice

I started Tessa on four weaves today and she was pretty baffled. Suddenly she had trouble with the first three too! We kind of struggled our way through it and she was getting it slowly but it clearly was stressful for her.

And then I had an idea.

I borrowed one of the concepts from 2x2 weaves and set up three poles, about five feet of space, and then three more poles. In no time, this happened.

I bet I'll be able to move these closer and closer and I'll have 6 poles much faster than I expected. I'm wondering if I'm going to need to continue with the channel weaves that we are working on?

If this works, I'm going to publicize it as my own weave method. Brenna Weaves, anyone? Fender Poles, perhaps?

January 11, 2014 - Disc Practice

The Boy will (hopefully) be taking over disc work with Tessa while my shoulder mends. Here's a bit of their practice together today. It was quite windy, making things a challenge.

January 6, 2014 Practice

We had a very nice early afternoon practice in which she was nailing the weave macaroni like nobody's business. A couple hours later and 10 degrees cooler and it went like this:

Someone was less serious about this training session than the rest of us:

This is Spark, doing nothing:

And here's some contact training:

Trying out a new camera, can't get it off hella zoom. Some of these videos are shot at quite a distance. You'll just have to imagine what you can't see.

Late December 2013 - First Weave Pole Practice

We did weave channel work too but I didn't get that on video. 

Late December 2013 - Rain Practice

It was sprinkling in spots and flat-out pouring in others. Tessa was not at all bothered by the rain. I wish I could say the same for me!

My videographer was trying to stay dry and was too short to shoot over the fence!
