Miley gets her Novice JWW title

It was a very good weekend. Miley did great in the jumpers ring. All weekend she was right on. She took first place all three days and it looked great. No mistakes and I didn't have to repeat anything. It felt great. Standard on Saturday she did great. No jumping on and off the table. Everything was flowing. But she jumped both the contacts. Sunday, again she jumped her contacts and I pulled her off the teeter by rear crossing. It was a 90 degree angle from the jump to the teeter and I thought I couldn't make a front cross in time. O'yea she again jumped on and off the table. I'm going to have to practice that table being 4 inches. I think we have been practicing with a 16 inch table. Big difference. All in all it was a great weekend. She really liked going to the trial. Both Saturday and Sunday she stood at the door waiting to go. ( When she see the purple cooler she know we are going some where) She usually runs away when its time to go to the car. But not this weekend. The courses were great. The jumpers course yesterday had two pinwheels and the course today many tight turns. I hate when you go to a trial and the novice courses are so easy that they don't challenge you at all. The judges were very nice and all the dogs were under control. I didnt see anyone be mean to their dog. Hopefully everyone had a good time.
