Get Back to Work (Play!)
I started getting out my agility equipment this week. I had it in the garage during Nina's recuperation.
- Table - I built a table in March. This has been one obstacle she really likes.
- Teeter: She has no teeter fear. My problem is she gets in a hurry and want to jump off before it hits the ground. Our practice teeter is full height.
- Jumps - I have her doing some jumping 8" to get her back in shape. I have several exercises to help me with my handling. Making sure I know how to lead her past hurdles and go where I want her to. I need to get some more jump cups and bars so I can make double & triples. Later I want to build a broad jump and a panel jump.
- Wings - I've made a couple of lattice wings. It is more for my practice than hers.
- Tunnel - one of Nina's favorites. I have a nice 12ft tunnel and a lightweight collapsed tunnel (with chute).
- Walk - our practice walk is only about 3 ft high, but she has never had any issues at full height
- A-frame - don't have one in yard - She's done OK at Ace's place
- Weaves - she completed a four weave section first try yesterday. First she's done since Feb. I think she'll be back to speed in no time.
- Tire - I have a dinky hula hoop. I've got all supplies to build a good one - maybe I'll start next week.
