"Back to the Basics"   KYRA FRASER

"Kyra has always loved going over obstacles, but Weave Poles were something totally different. Initially she ran alongside them. Guides helped greatly, but when they were removed she would miss a few. So, we went back to the basics and started with only three poles. We gradually moved up to five. Now we are successfully doing 12 weave poles, while we work on consistency and speed as well. It is good teaching advice to 'stay with the basics'." — Lisa
