CPA USDAA trial!

The trial had a huge entry, they ended up adding a 3rd ring and judge. First thing that happened at the trial was Venus had to get measured. 21.5" :( After months off of agility she is jumping 26", 5 runs a day, for her first trial since July! What was I thinking lol. With only one bar on the warm up jump she kept going under it. I finally worked her at 22", then 24", then 26". It finally clicked with her that she was jumping 26".
Saturday Results:
Snooker
- NQ- She knocked the bar on the first red and was over the 2nd jump so we got whistled off
Gamblers- NQ/3rd- She knocked the first bar again, all other bars stayed up, I really didn't give her any information on the gamble so she didn't do it
Standard- Q/2nd- I forgot where I was going after the a-frame so we had a bobble before the weaves
Pairs- Q/2nd- Nice easy pairs run
Steeplechase- NQ- I was a horrible handler! I told her to go up the a-frame, that was not where we were supposed to go.
Sunday Results:
Gamblers-
NQ/3rd- Took an offcourse jump during the gamble
Standard- Q/1st- Nice run for us
Snooker- NQ- My anti-weave dog decided to cut through the weaves on the way to the next red
Grand Prix- NQ- Took a jump the wrong way
Jumpers- NQ- 1 bar down, otherwise great run
Monday Results:
Snooker-
Q/1st- Yay snooker Q
Gamblers- NQ/2nd- Just couldn't get her to do the gamble in time
Standard- Q/2nd- Messy run but got it done for her SSA!
Jumpers- Q/1st- Wonderful jumpers run!

Just need a gamblers Q for her AD

We are back!

All done with puppy stuff now so we are back. Venus did a show and go today and was a good girl. Very nice weaves, kept bars up, nice contacts. Not bad for being out of shape and having been off for 3 months.

Our first trial is USDAA Jan 9-11!
