Learning to Weave

Coulee has been learning to weave for what feels like forever! I know, it is my fault. We don't practice nearly enough. This week though, I've practiced every day but one - and that was due to rain. We borrowed some poles and gates and have been practicing in the backyard. The first night was a disaster. I know that with any new "trick", location can make a big difference, so even though we were weaving with just a few gates in class, I started back at square one. Coulee acted like they weren't even there and just shoved her way through. I started to get quite frustrated, which didn't help so after 5 minutes we both went inside for a break. After dinner, and a BIG drink, we tried again. Much better!



We went out this afternoon and brought the camera. I set it up on a stool, attached the remote and asked Coulee to weave towards me. It worked quite well.


We had some really good sequences...




And some not so good sequences...

Coulee, You are really getting the hang of it! It sure looks like you are flying through those weaves.

I love the expressions on Coulee's face. It looks like she is concentrating very hard.

Yes she is concentrating very hard... on the ball, not the weaves! She posed at the end of every weave expectantly waiting for me to throw the ball.
