Videos from the trial

Here are Legend's qualifying runs from Sunday. You can see how slow she is in the first half of the course and then she starts to speed up. You can also notice how every once in a while she is spooked by getting on the dogwalk or the teeter at a trial. But overall they were good runs. I always think it looks slower on video than it felt in the ring-I guess that's normal.

She is definitely loosening up and running with a longer stride in the second half of the course. Are you using some warmup routine before doing a run, or going over the practice jump a number of times? Wonder if its a confidence issue or she just needs to get the blood flowing before she speeds up.
Nice runs.

she warms up great and is playful and full of herself until we get to the ring so I think it's a stress/confidence thing. And it's not every trial either.
