Legend started off the weekend with a bang getting QQ #18 right off the bat on Friday-no contact issues at all! And better times than she's run in a while to boot...MACh 2 points maybe? Our quest for the perfect weekend continued into Saturday where she picked up yet another standard Q! QQ #19 was in the works but she went wide at one tunnel in jumpers and into the weaves instead of turning into the jump-one wrong course away! And it went downhill (relatively speaking anyway) from there. This morning she trotted around the first jump-stress? lack of attention? distraction? I don't really know. After that she was not still not clean but did do all her contacts nicely. So no contact refusals all weekend! Yippee!
Lyric was the queen of jumpers this weekend having three beautiful runs for two thirds and one first place. Good times too. She ran halfway up the teeter every day, turned around and came back down though. Poor girl-she runs up with so much confidence, like she's going to do it, then chickens out and comes down. More teeter work in the next few weeks. She also had one jump refusal and one table refusal this weekend. But she nailed all six sets of weaves! Overall I'm pretty proud of them and I have video this time!
The first two (if YouTube works correctly) should be from Legend's QQ. The next one is Lyric's jumpers from Friday and the last one is Lyric's best standard run of the weekend-only fault is, of course the teeter.
Congrats on your weekend. I cant remember if I already told you this but did you do the Wendy Pape's DVD, Teeters from start to finish. It talks about the height of the teeter being a fear. And she works through on the DVD how to deal with it. She breaks the teeter down into 4 parts ( i think) that you need to work seperately. The height, movement, noise and something else. But it really helped me fix Mileys fly offs. Diana
The only teeter problems Maggie has ever had is on that teeter- I know people that will not show in std at that club because of it. So if you have teeter issues, I would be wary of sending her up that one! I'm not sure what spooks them, but there really is something unusual about it. (great weekend though, even your non-Q runs looked great)
I'm pretty sure it's the bounce at the bottom that bothers her. She got bounced pretty hard at columbi and by the third day was not doing that teeter either.
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife...
Don't blink...
Ain't no rhyme or reason No complicated meaning Ain't no need to over think it Let go laughing Life don't go quite like you planned it We try so hard to understand it The irrefutable, indisputable fact is... It happens
