Well.
Quite the dumpster fire 2020 has turned into, huh? Just when the weather gets beautiful and I start thinking about bringing Dino back into work and getting going with some stuff the whole world has to lock down in the face of a Global Pandemic. I don’t know who’s writing this season but I’d like to make a complaint…
Dino and Pops are doing fine of course. We keep shifting them onto new grass as they eat up what they are on and although they are carrying more weight than might be ideal they don’t seem footsore. They are overdue a trim though. Hannah and I are alternating days to take care of them so we can each get some field time but we aren’t making unnecessary trips (or seeing each other!) The lovely Connection Training people have started a study group for the lockdown so I’ve been diving back into the Groundwork Course and started to get Dino moving at liberty in the field. It’s been a bit disorganised as my brain is all over the place but I thought I’d try and get my head together a bit here.
At the moment we are working on:
– being relaxed and not waving our legs around in general
– shoulder isolations (‘out’)
– crunches (‘kisses’)
– getting used to the new soft poles
Hoping to make some headway in all these areas this week. Some videos of where we’re at right now:
Hopefully we’ll see some improvement by next week’s video! They will be getting new grass on Friday and a slightly larger patch which I think will be good. It’s old, long grass so shouldn’t get their feet sore. I also want to start working on having them out of the field one at a time and learning to cope being apart so hopefully there will be some time for work on that this week as well. Watch this space.
