Josie, Running Aframe, 25 August 2008

Josie and Ivie both got on ALL the contacts tonight! We have a 4-day USDAA this weekend, so I figured even Ivie deserved a little brushing up in the contact department. Looks like she's been taking notes :)




This is the first night for Josie to be at 5'10" with NO BOX. She does a *super* job, if you ask me!! She has one absolutely stellar AF in the set, and the others are also WELL in the zone, just not what 'the method' leans toward. I am VERY happy with where we are, though, and cannot wait to show this puppy off!! :o)

**Also take note of "Coach Josie"**

Thanks a bunch!!

In class tonight I realized I REALLY need to work some sequencing to/from the AF. We'll work on that tomorrow, then take Thursday off to rest up for the weekend. Josie's just a ball of muscles and smiles, I love her to bits!! Ivie is, too, of course, but it's just so much more pronounced in Josie since she's smooth. I noticed in the videos Ivie looks like she's 'flabby' when she gets into 2O2O -- that's ALL hair!! Her ribs are RIGHT there!!!  Too funny :-P

Very lovely running contacts!

They are looking good, Emily! Those teeters of Ivies were awesome to watch! I love the one where it looks like she's going to sail off the end, but she lands it perfectly and her rear legs ride it up and down!

And Josies running contacts are incredible.

The best part was seeing Josie run beside Ivie and "check" her contact. =P Great Job! It'll be hard to call those contacts....but I'm up for the challenge. Your coming to Shreveport, right?! =D JK/LOL
