Had a great time this weekend at the Smack Dab trial at the Farm. Nice courses all weekend and incredible weather. Nice to hear everyone cheering for everyone! This was our first trial since March and only our second since last fall. We’ve been working through some pelvis issues with Cap although I believe I know what’s causing it now. Just stared jumping 20 inches this week. She started out the weekend really freaked out, remembering the scary stuff that happened at the last trial there in March. She did a lot better on Saturday and was pretty much herself. And Sunday morning before jumpers, she really freaked out again, trying to get out of the building. She did work through it a bit but started out slower than normal on her jumpers run and really picked up speed when she ran past that scary back door. I figured out that when the last scary episode happen in March, we came through the crate room door which is what I did on that jumpers run yesterday. For standard, I came through the other door and she was just fine. She remembers everything. Very rusty through the weekend but we did manage a QQ yesterday. Standard wasn’t pretty, but we made it through. Here are those runs.
