Show-me canines trial


After unexpectedly working on Friday, Legend and I headed up to Columbia for an agility trial. We stayed with some old vet school friends and had a nice time catching up and visiting on Friday night.

We had a really nice jumpers run yesterday but with one bar down. That's really rare for her so I couldn't be too upset. I was really proud of her weave poles though. It was a pretty tough entrance and something I would have totally been baby-sitting in the past. But I just hung back and let her do it and she nailed them! All that work is paying off. In standard we fell victim to the off course traps.

But today... She got a double Q and finished her MXJ! A double bonus!

I really felt she was pretty relaxed this weekend. Her starts were faster and she had a solid pace through the whole course, instead of starting slow and finishing fast. Off to Arkansas next weekend!

Legand looked great and (I thought) those were some pretty challenging courses. Every single weave entry all weekend had an issue. But you guys really looked smooth and in control.
