Tilda: On Friday both runs were nice. We still had dropped bars in both runs, however, Tilda seemed to run the course smooth and seemed to have more confidence! Which are both really great things! Tilda's contacts were okay, I don't think we had any actual fly offs, but it was close. I can't complain too much though, because I should have been working with her earlier on those contacts. In her Jumpers run Tilda stopped short in the weave poles and she didn't seem to have quite the same drive as her first run (STD). Also, in Tilda's standard run, she was about 20 seconds under time!
Saturday was wet, cold, and rainy :) What a day it was! Our Standard run was interesting. The problems that we had, or at least some of them, were probably my fault. It's different running in the mud :) I wanted to do a front cross in front of the chute, but didn't get out in front of Tilda. So I tried a rear and that didn't quite work. There was a place to fit in a front cross, however I skipped it because it was so muddy in that area. So I went with a rear cross using the jump before the dog walk. I don't do many rear crosses, but Tilda did take the jump, but she knocked the bar. I think she might have knocked another bar in that run too. Other things happened, but we don't need to go into them :) You can see for yourself in the video. . .
Tilda had a really nice jumpers run and only knocked 1 bar, but again had problems with her weaves. In both her STD runs the weaves were fine.
Tilda's Runs:
Gracie had 2 double Q days! 2 double Qs closer to a MACH and more points closer to a MACH :)
Buddy did not Qualify in his runs :(
