the last 2 trials I ran Sony at had lovely footing, however that was not the case this past weekend. although its always nice to have trials close to home ( 1 hr) the footing was very slippery. loose sand/ shredded rubber over hard packed clay. my girls slipped all weekend and even I went down at 1 point. Sony really tried her heart out and did fairly well. Sat she ran Pairs at 22" with Rivet, I ran Rivet and Nick ran Sony. other than Nick still learning how to handle discrimination's he did great and Sony ran well. I then ran her in PGP at 16 and she popped out of the poles. of course other than that she ran perfect. Nick ran her in PII std and PI snooker and Gamblers. boy is she gonna teach him a thing or 2 :) Last Class of the weekend was Masters Jumpers at 22" she dropped 2 bars 1 was the first one and she dropped the triple. but I think I pushed into her and caused it. other than that she tried real hard and jumped better. so those 3 jumper legs are Gonna have to wait until 2010. but I fell confident I will get them.
I knew Sony would need to be adjusted I even caught her pacing at one point over the weekend. so Dr A checked her after work yesterday and she was not as bad as I thought but she did a number on her mid back and had a rib out. those are very ouchy. and some on her neck nothing horrible but those ribs can pinch. poor Rivet did a number on her self as well. we have time off till Feb from trialing, we have a few seminars and more training and more getting fit for her.
