Nationals 2010 Spruce Meadows Calgary Alberta , here We Come!!!

Coolhand Luc is going to Nationals! My goal for Luc was to get to the 500 pt mark, we did it! We earned 517.05 points. We had fantastic runs and one standard with 30 faults (ouch) The rest were great. each jumpers were 5 faults, (handler errors). We got our other standard with 123.92 pts, gamble points in the first one were a bit low, 80.61, our second gamble was 102.52 points. Steeplechase on Friday was an incredible ride! Luc was 1st and qualified in both runs. I beleive he had the fastest time overall. I did not get any video of these 2 runs. I forgot to write down his stats, but I do remember that the runs were each 29 seconds and something. We had a clinic with Kathy Keats this weekend and we have our homework to work on for nationals. It was a great time , with a great instructor. Very informative.

FUNMATCH IS ON!!!

We are on for the funmatch tomorrow! bring bug spray, I am sure those hungry mosquitoes will be out after all the rain and now the heat.
Hopefully there will be some wind, to blow them away!

Stuff

off to see the chiropractor today with Luc,just his pre competition check up.
Cavall is going in again next week, he is finally using his rear legs to push off to go up stairs. Still not sure if I like what I see when jumping low jumps.
Doing jump grids with him, to give him his balance and rhythm back. hopefully to help him build up the strength in his back and rear.
Mister Luc, is testing the waters for start line behavior, which is fine, we will get it back to being solid. He gets so intense at the start line he is not aware he is lifting his rear up , ready to push off. Usually all I have to do is look at him with the "I do not think so " look and he goes, "oh so sorry I got ahead of myself"

He is such a great dog , and I better remember to stay very consistent with him.
I am so looking forward to regionals with him, it will be a blast and so many agility buddies will be there!
