I started Phebe's retraining in early December, using the two table method (Jen Pinder's "Sizzling Seesaws") and have been very happy with the results. <br /><br />I don't have any tables either, but was able to find things to use to achieve the correct height differences for the steps in this method. I used a large storage bin with a mat on top, for example. <br /><br />We also continued to go to class but didn't do any teeters in sequences from early November, when I first decided to retrain, until just last week. <br /><br />There is a remarkable difference in Phebe's attitude toward the teeter and her performance. She is driving straight to the end, riding to bottom, and getting in her 2o2o, and HOLDING it. Also, if her footing or balance is a bit off, she fights to hold on, instead of immediately bailing. She WANTS that teeter, now.<br /><br />Our big test will be the end of this month when we trial again with USDAA. Hope you have great success with all your training challenges in 2012!Margaret Coombsnoreply@blogger.com
