Vickie Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) Trim & I ran a jumping trial tonight and we managed to get another first place quallly for her title! We have had an exceptional start to our trialling, both in agility & jumping. Out of our first 7 Novice runs, she has 6 first places and 2 titles. When I think back to how long and how much effort it took me to achive the same thing with my 2 boys, it is really amazing. I am so very PROUD of her, she is such a good girl, honest, biddable, athletic and just about as sweet as can be. ;) I can't wait for next year, Open will be tougher but sure to be rewarding & fun with Trim by my side, trying her little (big) heart out.

Mrsdog Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 That is awesome. I'm just about to start trialling again so you are an inspiration. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Excellent, Vickie! Apart from Trim being a great dog, you must be doing some awesome handling! I'm jealous At my advanced age, I find Open jumping quite the challenge with my speedy little girl. It's so hair trigger - cue too early, and she could pull a bar - too late and she'll off course - and then she gets soooo cross with me if I can't get it right - talk about work ethic - she's got it in spades. Are you doing agility with Trim as well? Congrats again. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidelis Border Collies Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 congratulations Vicki and Trim . Trim's Sister Abigail sends her well wishes and reckons Open will be a piece of Cake. Looking forward to hearing more successes next year which i am sure there will be Regards Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippi Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Fantastic Vickie ;) So you should be very proud of Trim and yourself, what a great start to what is shaping up to be a very successful career for both of you. Any more pics?? I will be asking for weekly training tips and I now feel so enthusiastic and motivated I am going straight outside to practice figure 8's. Come on Pippi......

Vickie Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 You make it look easy ... and I know it's not. LOL, it kind of looks like an easy course on video, but it wasn't, there were a few non-novice challenges IMO. There were only 3 qualifiers, many many dogs went off course from one or more of about 5 traps & there were a few weird lines as well. If you didn't have a reliable lead out, you were basically stuffed. Did you see my RFP? LOL, worked like a dream, except that I probably didn't need it as the line was right when we got there...but no time to think...I just had to do as planned. I'll draw it for you when I see you.

sidoney Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) Yes, that would be good. I'm always interested in course maps. Not always easy to tell what the course is from the side perspective. The path between um, 11 & 12 I think, looked very awkward.
