B Match










We ran in the "B" match. We had some problems but over all we did ok. The flooring on the ground was like fake grass, but thick fake grass. Ive never seen anything like it. I ran Miley first in standard. It started out great. Fantastic teeter then a turn into the a-frame. OMG she jumped the contact. I brought her back to me and made her sit at the bottom of the contact and then released her. Then tunnel , broad jump and into the weaves. She jumped right on the table. On the table I made her down. While waiting for the count, she was shaking all over. I guess from excitement. I released her, over a jump and back over the a-frame. She jumped off the a-frame even higher up. Holy crap, she is going to break her leg. I brought her back again and placed her a couple of feet above the contact and told her "touch". She still jumped it. Finally I just put her in the "touch" position. When we ran out of the ring, she seemed pretty happy. I started feeling down about the contacts. What am I going to do? Then I remember my new positive attitude. I decided not to worry about the contacts and run her again. I couldn't remember my three words, Fun, Confident, happy, when I walked into the ring. Ok regroup. Be calmer, think happiness. Our second run went much better. I ran my own course, she popped out of the weaves, ran around the table but as soon as she hit the table I released her. I'm not sure what the trouble with the tunnel was. But all her contacts were great and she came to me after the run. WhooHoo










Then we had a little bit of a wait for the jumpers run. That run I finally felt normal when I went to the line. We had a good run, a couple of wide turns and she missed the weaves. I know I didn't cue it right but I couldn't figure out how to let her know about the turn into the weaves. After missing the weaves, she took a jump and then around into the weaves. WhooHoo all the way down. I threw her toy/bait bag and ran out of the ring. She got treats right outside the ring. I really hope that made an impression on her to tomorrow.


I forgot to bring socks. I have an extra set of clothes I keep in the car so I have at least on pair. I guess I have to go buy some.

The last part of the video wont upload, where she goes over the jump and then does the weaves. O well.
