Progress

Lots of progress, I like progress. To start off we went to the only nice day of Ajax on Friday and what a nice day it was. The ground was really good and Rommy was even better. YAY! Getting there I was planning on doing an NFC agility run with him to practice contacts, but with his A frame still not remotely ready I decided I just decided to work on building confidence and concentration. Now Rommy being the friendly and nosy boy he is he finds people and numbers very interesting. So instead as there was 3 steeplechases on that day I would do all of them plus the jumping to get him weaving in the ring... and if possible keep him with me which was the major challenge of 2012. So here we are 2013 and he managed to stay with me for ALL of his runs to get 4 clears... first time EVER! Yes in one run he did have a couple of looks at the judge standing at the end of a line of jumps but bless his little cotton socks he stayed with me. He really made me run too! I only have two of his steeplechases on video it wont seem to let me post it normally but heres the link :)

He managed to get himself 4 rosettes, one clear round, one 3rd and two 2nds. But more importantly he stayed with me :D. Fingers crossed we can keep it up for the rest of the year.


We also had training today it was the second lesson with the A frame at full height, hes still using stride regulators which are amazing. Got most of them on video because I find it so much easier to watch everything slower... my eyes and brain cant keep up. I thought he was so much better than last week and he only had 1 miss and 1 trying to stop. I've put all of them together in one video with normal speed and slow mos as I thought it was nice to see him getting it more and more in each one :)
