2/4/12 Trial Results - Two Qs And A Title!

We were at another agility trial this Saturday! Two Saturday's in a row.

Tilda: In Excellent A Standard we didn't qualify. First of all, I'll just say our run wasn't all that bad. Part of the problem was me :) We had 2 refusals, 1 wrong course, and 1 fault. Here is what happened, in order: 1) The fault was a knocked bar/bars on the triple bar jump. 2) The one refusal was on the tunnel. I did a front cross before the teeter than did another one in front of the teeter. I didn't want to do the one in front of the teeter. Now, I'm not sure if that's why she didn't go in the tunnel or if she just decided not to do it. 3) This was completely my fault! I went to the wrong obstacle, therefore giving us the wrong course. 4) The second refusal was that she ran by the weaves the first time. See, it wasn't all that bad, only 4 problems. Time: 69.12 out of 72 seconds.

In Excellent A Jumpers With Weaves we had an almost 100% run, just two knocked bars. Otherwise, we would have Q'd. We made time by a lot: 37.68 out of 51 seconds.

Gracie: In Excellent A Standard she had a very nice run, but for some reason she didn't like the chute.

In Excellent A Jumpers With Weaves Gracie had a beautiful run! She Qualified, got First Place, and got her Excellent Agility Jumper Title!!!


Buddy: In Excellent A Jumpers With Weaves he Qualified and took Third Place!! What a run; it was Buddy's first Q in Excellent!

From what I hear, Buddy's Excellent A Standard run was really close to a Q. The last two obstacles were a dog walk and jump. He did a fly off on the dog walk. I didn't see his run because I was volunteering as a jump bar setter in Open Jumpers.

What a day!
