Since Sophie is now 10 years old, Heidi crafts each agility run and training exercise to minimize stress on her body. Recently, they fixed a weaves problem by tying string from pole to pole, about 3" above Sophie's shoulder height. Now she lowers her head as she weaves, allowing her body to move more smoothly and faster through the poles. "She is beauty in motion. It's wonderful running with her, when we're in sync in thought and movement. Each run is a gift!" — Heidi
