Cone cavaletti

Here is Guiness and the cone cavaletti. Today is the first day we did them because I needed my husbands help in drilling the holes in the cones.
I did hear his feet click the bar a few times. I think I might have been making him go to fast. I'm not sure. I saw him do this at the rehab center and he didn't click at all. But he seemed distracted when we were filming. I do like the way the cone cavaletti make him pick all his feet up individually.

Gow high is the PVC off the ground? Looks cool.

2 sides of the cone have holes drilled at one height and the other two side have holes drilled at another height. That way the poles dont hit each other when the intersect. Cone side #1 and #3 heights are ( measured from the top of the base of the cone to the center of the hole) bottom hole going up: 1 5/8", 4 1/8, 6 5/8, 9 1/8, 11 5/8.
Cone sides #2 and # 4 heights are ( from the bottom up) are: 1/2", 2 7/8, 5 3/8, 7 7/8" and 10 3/8. I only drilled the bottom 3 holes because Dr. Sherman said thats as high as I would go with Guiness. Right now he has me working him with both poles in hole #2 and the distance between the cones from base edge to base edge is 14 inches. ( guiness has long legs and is about 16 and 1/2 inches tall) I hope this makes sense. If not let me know. Diana
