TRAINING: Rain

It is that time of year. It is wet, wet, wet. In California, we have had one storm right after another with record breaking amounts of water falling from the sky. With competition season right around the corner, what do you do? Afterall, competitions don’t stop because it is raining. They go on. And, so should you. Get a great raincoat and go outside.

Here are some things you can do, even if the arena is closed.

• Ground work

• Hack

• Pole work

• Walk, walk, and walk some more

• In hand work, like ground driving, leg yield, shoulder in, transitions

• Practice jogging (this comes in helpful for shows and the vet)
