Rubber Legs...

Wow a break in the weather...been outside since 6 am doing pen checks and helping get caught up with bedding and moving hay bales around / barn cleaning etc.
One of those 'feel good' days where it's quite enjoyable just being outside. Worked 5 dogs this am....mind you my legs feel like rubber after tromping through snow in winter boots ( who needs ankle weights with those on :) but not going to complain ...overall good sessions with each dog. Dare and Fly, havent worked them since beginning of Dec....the odd cheap shot as they try to slice in. Dare needs to be reminded to stay parked when first starting out but both girls covering their stock well and settle into a natural stop on balance....pretty well things are where we left off. Even worked Sting a few minutes...she's due in just over 2 wks so a light session with a few flanks / walk ups and call it a day.Came away very pleased with the girls this am.

Worked the boys Quade and Derby. Quade out in the stubble field since we could move around with the small amount of snow fall to date. Havent worked Derby for awhile but he did just fine in the sheep pasture...worked on bringing stock to me from the fetch position and finding his stop on balance.
Suppose to have a few days of decent weather ...so tomorrow want to get in more training sessions before the weather changes.
