NQ – Bar on double (obstacle 2)


A little sluggish off start line, probably contributed to dropped bar on double as obstacle 2.  Nice lateral send to allow for blind cross before teeter (even though I barely got there).  Got nice bottoms on teeter and dogwalk.

100 – MXJ Leg #18 – 6 points


Big puppy sit on start line but still started with ok speed.  Wide turn on jump leading to line of jump to weaves.  Slow weaves but then kicked it down.  Nice job not taking wrong course #1 after tunnel.  A front cross that I barely made at the finish but she found a way to cross.

NQ – Popped weaves


Very slow weaves.  As I tried to speed them up I got way ahead and she popped out.  I got way in front on second try at weaves and she did them all.  Weird tunnel to dogwalk combination, I played it very safe on the entry and she handled it fine.  Went around jump as I believe she was heading for the exit.

NQ – Dropped last bar.


Odd run as I thought she was jumping poorly, especially first half but kept bars up.  Weaved slow.  After weaves pace picked back up and jumping got better.  Dropped bar on the last jump.

NQ – Ran by table, popped weave (early weave, she thought weave “bit/attacked” her butt)


Ok start, nice dogwalk to 180 jumps.  Ran by table.  I was expecting that there might be an issue sticking the table off the triple but I’m not sure why she didn’t engage it at all.  She may have thought it was tire instead.  Big speed to weaves and she managed to enter but then reacted like a pole bit/attacked her in the butt and she turned to look.

100 - MXJ Leg #19 – 9 points


Solid enough run but I still thought her jumping looked a little labored until the weaves and the weaves were very slow.  Speed and jump style got better after weaves.  Very confused if what I saw was physical or mental (since it got better after weaves). 


Chiropractor visit during the following week, she was off but not a lot off.  Still don’t know if issue was mental or physical.
