Vero Beach agility fun!


The 3-day USDAA trial in Vero this weekend was a blast...my two red boys did a super job...

Our hard work over the last couple of months really paid off...Triumph's jumping was SO much better and he never launched over any of the spread jumps and never crashed any of them in 3 days of showing!!!  He was so much more of a thinker this weekend than mindlessly running as fast as he can from obstacle to obstacle as he has done in the last couple of shows - I am thrilled!

This video is of Steeplechase round 1 - Triumph initially made the weave entry but just came with me and it took a couple tries to get him in - he took off a little soon on the broad jump and also at the last jump, but for the most part, his jumping was better!

Triumph earned his first DAM Q - thank you Annette Alfonso and Legend and Lyn Khan and Jock for making that happen - and he is now totally qualified to show at USDAA Nationals - sweet!!

Burn was a very good boy, as usual, and finally earned the Grand Prix Q he needs to show at the Regional in Perry in June - hooray!!!!!!  Here's to hoping for that last Grand Prix Q at the Regional so he will be able to show in Grand Prix at Nationals - please agility Gods!!!
