We haven't worked all that much on rear crossing the weaves, and this particular RC is going against the direction that Willie is traveling in the weaves. Since getting this right is a training issue and not a handling issue, I opted to start at #4 on our next turn. Then I went home and created a plan to work on this skill.
RC Weave Pole Entry
We'll start this exercise with 6 poles and I'll decide whether to work with 12 poles as we get each step or work through all four exercises before starting over with 12.
The first stage will involve moving the position of the jump from the black position to the red. Then I'll return the jump to its starting position and work on increasing the angle of the weaves away from the tunnel. Once Willie can handle the RC with the weaves angling away from the tunnel, I'll start moving the jump toward the red position.
The final exercise will be as shown at the bottom right, where I've added a second jump to approximate the challenge we faced this morning.
Here are the videos of our work on this sequence:
