3 Day Trial

Wow, three days. You must get exhausted, esp running to such a high standard. I'm tired after a half day.

Congrats so far and good luck with the rest of the comp. Dont forget to have fun.
 
*whew* Day 2 is down! This 3 day trial thing is exhausting!

Another pretty decent day. Learning things we need to work on!

First was our Grand Prix run--masters course run by masters rules. Didn't think we'd do well, and had 2 refusals at the weaves, so was over the course time. Other than that, he did well.

Then steeplechase--was actually totally clean! However, he was SO SLOW on the A-frame (had to do it twice) that we were over course time by 3 seconds. He was quick the rest of the way. Probably spent at least 10 seconds on the A-frame.

Advanced Jumpers--100% clean--a Q! Only needs 1 more for his advanced title.

Starters Standard--I think Bentley was really tired, and he kept popping out of the weaves. He does this when he's had enough. After the third try, we just kept going. I didn't want to push him.

Starters Gamblers--the gamble was NOT a tunnel, so Bentley got it---yay a Q! Only needs one more for his starters tittle.

More to come tomorrow--thinking about going to bed (it's 8pm!)
 
Congratulations!!!! Cannot wait to hear how you did on Day 3. :smile2: (I am so jealous of all of you and these trials you get to go to! We only have 3 (maybe 4) trials here in Manitoba a YEAR! To trial more, we have to drive out of province - usually west at minimim 8 hours! :( )
