7/16/2011 Agility Trial Results

Yesterday we were at an agility trial; Tilda's last trial was 5/20/11.

Tilda: In Open Jumps With Weaves she NQ'd; 3 refusals, 1 fault, and 1 elimination. Tilda got a case of the sniffs and popped out of the weaves twice. Then she knocked a jump bar; yes even after all the practice she still needs work ;) She went by a jump, which could have been my fault because I didn't get real close to it. She didn't come back and went out of the ring. But, the run wasn't all that bad.

In Open Standard we also NQ'd; 1 refusal, 2 wrong courses, 1 fault. First thing was a fly off on the a-frame; she did that at the last trial. Then right after the a-frame was a jump which she went by. After the jump it was the table, but she took the tire before that. Then, she took a wrong jump and went part way up the a-frame.

Buddy: In Open Jumps With Weaves Buddy NQ'd. I can't say all that happened since I didn't write down the results. Anyhow, he started really good and ran quite fast. The first problem was that he took a wrong jump, next he had trouble with the weaves, and he did quite a bit of running around and took jumps he wasn't supposed to.

In Open Standard Buddy didn't want to take the chute, in the process of trying to get Buddy to take the chute he took a wrong jump. Again he had a little trouble with the weaves. And I think he came back out of the second tunnel. At the end Buddy ran out of the course and came back in by way of jumping the fence :)

Gracie: In Open Jumps with Weaves she missed a jump, did a spin before a jump, which I'm thinking that might have been a refusal. Then again took a wrong jump. I'm not exactly sure what happened at the end, meaning I don't know if there was a little problem or not.

In Open Standard Gracie was running really good! She took the second tunnel the wrong way but the big thing was that she jumped off the teeter. The last jump was a triple bar and she knocked one of the bars. But by that time she had already NQ'd.

So no ribbons, but what can you do. There's always next time. But it was still a nice day and I'm glad it wasn't too hot :)
