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.
Can't wait to get back into full practice!
