Last Trial of 2009

Well, the "kitty litter" trial as come and gone. It snowed all day Saturday, a heavy, wet snow. We ended up with 3 inches of snow and an ice rink for a parking lot! The worst part of today's drive was going from the car to the building.

Here are the highlights of the 2009 trial season:

January 24 - finished our novice jumpers with weaves title.

March, June, then October gave us 3 Q's in open jumpers. On to Excellent in both jumpers and standard (finally!).

August was a good month with Open FAST Q's on the 1st, 29th, and 30th.

Things to Work On

Cosi and I need to build our consistency and team work. When we click, it's a glorious feeling. *I* need to be more aggressive on course and get those blasted front crosses in! That's my #1 goal for next year.

We're done with trials now until the second week in February. Time to enjoy family, relax, practice little drills, but nothing serious. Everyone needs some down time.
