modifier cues with a mini

Submitted by Peggasus on Mon, 2009/01/05 - 1:13am.

For those of you who know my "freestyle minis" you might be interested to know that I'm teaching McKee (the little brown one with dark legs) some modifier cues. I'm really excited about the process and his accuracy is in the 90% at this stage.

Basically I've started with right/left "touch" (the target is my closed fist). I sit directly across from him; I'm on my knees and he's facing me. My arms are almost outstretched and my hands are closed and positioned where he can reach them.

We've done this in 4 different locations right now and he's making the transitions more quickly each time.

I'd love to hear your experiences with teaching modifier cues....
thanks!
