I also found it interesting that folks don't practice the log skid. I know that when I'm getting my donkey ready for "snigging" classes, we only practice it a couple of times---as much to get my "timing" back as anything! Shadow seems to "remember the drill" much better than I do. My guess is that, if you practice too much, the animal starts to anticipate the turns, rather than listening for your directions as to when to turn.

Log skid & Libby
This message is from: "Oscar & Shirley Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just a quick comment from someone who would rather read others input. I thought it interesting that those involved in log skid competition don't practice (I obviously don't participate in this event). Also thought you might find a portion of Libby's class description interesting. "Entries to pull two 16 1/2 foot logs both directions through five cones set 16 feet apart, while staying within 30 foot boundary lines." One last bit here - Although Libby, MT is economically challenged, the Parks and Recs group that manage the grounds have worked hard to continue to improve the facility for the Nordicfest Fjord Show. Last years contribution which was designed by members of the PNFPG was a much needed washrack. Shirley Anderson
