This one is a collection of clips from over last summer. We took them with a different camera and it ended up hundreds of megabytes so I posted stills instead. Anyway this is the edited version and the quality is awful.
Anyway it inlcudes lots of trotting around with Poppy with some pretty awful corners - I have been really trying since then to ask her to step under and bend, but as soon as my attention switches backwards she loses trot. There is a bit of spanish walk in there (which I've lost a bit at the moment, maybe because i have been working on getting collected walk and she gets a bit confused).
There is a bit of Bj playing (his rears are so much better now - see video 2) and a bit with him picking up his dog toy.
At the end is a clip from the first ride where Poppy offered spanish walk .

This one is recent. Bj does some of his nice round rears (although he lands a bit funny - like he is leaning back) and some his nice arched neck walk - which he is starting to use his back legs more in.
Poppy also does her round, stepping under walk. Its not the best footage of it, but I reward if she steps under nicely or if she tries to lift her front end and I reward lots if she manages both. I notice in the video she tends to lose it all though each time I give her a treat. I love the bit where I have walked off and she follows and does a nice round balanced walk all by herself.

Another video as Pops had a bit more energy this time and was trotting around a bit. It has on it some of my attempts at getting her better balanced as she does circles. She is starting to get the idea on the left but still wheels a bit to the right.
It also has a bit of Bj playing at the start...
