Pip update

Been working on his jumping the last week. Initially had a lot of difficulty fading the bottom rail of the spreads, but he seems to be getting it now. He's jumping full height spreads from the start now with no problem and I'm varying them diagonally and by altering the distances.

Have also put the double box up full height, but with 2 poles initially. He found this quite hard so started with just simple jump throughs in straight lines. and then corners. This was going well so started fading bottom rail and he suddenly just clicked and jumped the single pole yesterday. So tried it with the spreads and again he just jumped them full height.

Will progress further this week with the aim of doing the triple diagonal by this time next week.

He is coming on well with the rear crosses on the jumps and I need to work on my positioning. Pull throughs are better than push throughs so need to work on them, Also need to add in some serps. He stays out well on arm as long as I REMEMBER TO KEEP MY ARM OUT!

He is very happy on the seesaw and baby dog walk now - need to concentrate on the contacts though and will prob take the DW back to full height soon. AFrame needs to be finished now so he can learn that and Tony needs to sort out my weaves so I have 2x2's!

TUG is awesome atm and he will choose it over his ball at time s :)
