Thanks for the good luck wishes!
They are practicing away. With the nice weather today, I am sure they will be run some courses after school.

We got in both on Saturday and Sunday. Originally we were wait listed for Saturday. They need one more leg for their Nov JWW. If they get the leg on Saturday, I am debating if we should try Open? How much harder is Open than Novice?
Depends on the judge. Sometimes Open courses are kind of ugly because they just take out one or two things from the Ex course and/or renumber. That kind make the course less flowing than the Ex verisoin. That said, if it were me, I would go ahead and run the Open. You've already paid for the run and it's good experience.

That's true. The speed is going to be a problem for them, I think. Vinca is not one for rushing things along

Definitely depends on the judge and as Sharon said, you paid for it, so move up and just go for it. If it's a hard course, trust me, lack of speed sometimes is more helpful.
I've had really easy courses in Open (things that were easier than Novice) and super hard ones (harder than Ex that I've run so far). So, just go for it.

That's true. And then if I video it and they don't Q we can give the video to their trainer so they know what they need to work on for the future.

The walk through today isn't until 4:20 this afternoon. Which is nice because we don't have to leave to go down until after lunch (it is about a 2 hour drive).
