Good training session today :)

Jemma
Wow, she had amazing contacts today, they were all really fast and she was just slamming the brakes on at the end, it was amazing to watch and to run, i loved it :) Her weaves were a little wobbly today but better than they have been recently so that was good too :) Her jumping was good too, apart from at the end when she was tired and when I left her in a long lead out with it starting jump, tunnel (I was past the long straight tunnel) when she kept knocking the first pole - as soon as we changed it to a wooden one she didn't knock it at all, just made a real effort not to knock it!! All in all I was really chuffed with her today and just hope she runs the same this weekend :)

Elliot
We did quite a lot of weave work with him today - he was doing two jumps then straight into six and then on to two jumps :) the first two jumps were also at an angle at one point and I would say we had a 90% success rate :) we then moved on to doing tweleve, on their own to start and then with a jump before and I would say we had an 80% success rate on these but that was mainly because the tunnel was after them so he kept trying to go to that too early, it was good to see though that they don't need much more proofing with such a high success rate in the circumstances. We then worked on his contacts and I worked on proofing these too by running full pelt with him and past the end and he stopped at the bottom EVERY time (despite nearly falling off the down plank of the dog walk first time bless him)!!!!! So again, a good session with him too, fingers crossed with some weaves early in the courses this weekend!!
