This is our third agility trial in a row. Or should I say trials, since each trial is officially one day. The weather is better this week, still cold but a few degrees warmer and much drier. We had a steady light falling of snow last Sunday. And I did see some sunshine in Dallas, but not in McKinney.
Open Jumpers came up first. Vast improvement over last week, all the bars were up when we got done. However, she got caught by a smell at the beginning of the course, and I think we got two refusals. I’ll have to look at the scores. One refusal because she just wasn’t with it, the second probably at the weaves. She was really distracted there too. When I finished I felt like I had pulled her over every obstacle and the horn went off for time. Still much better than last Saturday which was 5 refusals and an E for a bar. Today was three refusals in Open.
Novice Standard sucked. She got distracted on the first long line, took the A-Frame instead of the dog walk, took forever to down, and was whistled off before she finished the last four obstacles due to time. She’s obviously done better.
But I’m pleased to see that she hasn’t knocked any bars.
Hopefully tomorrow is warmer.
