Oct 19th - at home

I had taken a bit of a break with Ripley on weaving in the backyard. I put together the 4 poles and a slight opening on the first set. Ripley had some trouble remembering to go through the final two poles. Once he understood, he did some nice weaving. His entries were very nice though, so I was happy with him.

I also did some jumping with Rip. I only have 2 jumps at home right now so I used a bar on the ground, then a jump at 6" and then the third jump at 22". I started with the third jump at 12" away and continued to move it 1" at a time and then back again. Rip did a really nice job of jumping the 22", so I was happy and we ended on a happy note.

I then worked with Baxter. I did the tough entries by themselves and then I brought in 2 jumps. I was asking him to take the jump and enter at very tough angles and he did a great job! I was very happy with him. We also worked on 270's and threadles inside the 270. He kept almost all the bars up so that was great also :)
