The judge was Claudia Mielke-Nowaczek from Germany.

This first run was a surprise, Kaïa needed to execute 3 “inside-out” full turn around a barrel. Something we never trained. She mostly understood my body language and succeeded 2 times out of 3. She also missed a hoop.

Second run, she didn’t understand the second gate and goes backward. technically, it’s the gate in front of her I guess. She followed directional command pretty well, I was astonished by her right and left turn.

The judge was Kirstin Piert from Germany.

So, a weave between barrels. We trained that only once and it did not go well. This one was easier though and she did it pretty well. A command too soon make use lose 5 points.

Second run, and an other weave, but this time she didn’t understand it and got confused. But I managed to send her on the right barrel, we still got 2 faults.
