One year ago this weekend, Triumph made his USDAA agility debut at this trial...he ran starters jumpers, starters pairs, starters gamblers, Grand Prix and Steeplechase...he ran most of the courses with his superman cape on and launched early on most of his jumping especially in jumpers...his early takeoff and over jumping progressively got worse as we continued to trial...the more classes he ran, the higher he got and the more inappropriate his takeoff and over jumping became until he eventually started crashing the double and triple jumps...this was a new experience for me and a challenge I wasn't sure I could handle and I really didn't know what to do to help him...Burn was a naturally talented and exceptional jumper and I never had to worry about him taking or crashing jumps, ever...Triumph has been a different story.
But we have worked very very hard since the beginning of this year on his jumping and he has made huge improvements and I was just thrilled with his first time ever in master jumpers last night...now to go back and fix that damn start line scooting!!!!!! Always something, huh???!!!!
gorgeous!!
