Agility training

[Laurelin]

Sara, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love the picture of Classic jumping in your signature. He looks so graceful.

Thanks! We really are having fun with it! And I have no choice up here, we get a few short months of decent outdoor training weather per year. Mind you, next winter I hope to have an indoor training arrangement worked out.

She's looking nice!!! How long have you been working with her? Wish I had a tunnel like that - all we have is a small, 5' one

Thank you! She's 15 months old now, I started training agility related stuff in November, and we've been working outside over the winter. I've been doing mostly Susan Salo jump grids and have recently started running contact training. Then I began Success With One Jump work, and have just really started the handling basics like in this video.

Now I have to build a teeter, buy some 2x2 weaves, a few more jump, and a chute. My poor parents.....I live in an apartment, so I'm building my collection up at their house.

Indoor winter training would be nice! We do a bit at the two facilities here but every day type practice is in the yard. Which is a muddy mess right now. I came in from working Savvy & Whim today and we were all totally covered with mud!

Man! I wish Kimma and I were that good after only like 4-5 months! It's taken us about a year to get to where we are - and it's not very far

Hahaha yeah, I've started my equipment collection already, too! I'm hoping to get some more stuff built once we move in to our own house again (temporarily living with family). All my stuff right now is in storage, which is a bummer....

Oh it has been a muddy mess outside a lot the past few months here, too! Makes things a little less fun. We also have class sort of outside (covered horse barn) on a dirt floor. So if you get wet outside before coming in to class, the dirt during class just sticks to you. It's gross, but sort of worth it
