Thank you for your always valuable feedback. I just need to work through this at my own (slow) pace, lol. Do a few more reps minus little miss till I have the sequence and correct verbals in my head.
I did practise this with the Borders. No words for how that went. Just fast, furious and pretty silent, although they knew what I meant. I can see the verbals would be terribly useful if I wasn’t right there on top of them.
Smiley Face tunnel threadles – oh my! This one blew my brain for sure. My cues were pretty random…I could not think what to say when she came out of the tunnel to go to a threadle after a tunnel cue. Sometimes I just used tunnel. I thought I’d get better after 3 sessions, but no, no better.
A few seconds of zigzag 2 with closer bars: https://youtu.be/h6bHPxB4i8g
Lap turns and tandem turns: Alas, I fear there was flinging! Can I just say how satisfying it was to do a couple of tandem turns on courses on the weekend in a couple of tricky spots. They worked so well I impressed myself.
I struggle to replicate a racetrack in the video because I have to work out what I’m doing next and where I should be in quick succession and I don’t think my mind works that fast…
We had a big local trial at my club on the weekend so I have been out of commission. This is our 3rd session of wind in hair transitions… there isn’t much transition yet because she stopped dead on the bar if I tried to leave OR she back-jumped. Hey, why not? Anyhow, we are muddling through!
Proofing Get Out – off to a slow start, our 2nd session. Little late on the throw and not sure about my feet…
This was tough! I cannot even imagine trying to get a blind in here with the BCs. I have been practising because it’s all down to my handling and footwork I realise. And connection, lol, always! So far only just the beginnings of a diamond.
Worked on Find the Jump today…not sure about my connection. Jump is 10″. She was slow getting warmed up so sometimes we were not doing wraps at the beginning.
I angled the jump a little (but forgot to change when we changed sides)…started with the MM closer to the wing on the line and moved it out gradually and the session was more successful – our second one today. https://youtu.be/C1MH-QsSokM
Found the serps and sends tough – this is our second session and it was pretty identical to the first a couple of days ago. I am not sure if my shoulders are sufficiently turned? I try but not sure I am doing it well enough. On her right side – she bypasses the face of the jump so I put the MM behind the wing and move it out little by little but when I tried again after a couple of minutes – same result. I find myself moving away from the face of the jump more to pull her through on the right. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Left-right minny pinny – I think left was easier for her: https://youtu.be/37JLsZV9_C0
And a bit of zigzag fun: https://youtu.be/EOCmlhErN-g
