Last night's class had some lovely courses for us. The drop and run is really helping with her motivation.. I was revving her up verbally and really got her motoring. Also had the 'judge" (our trainer, one of sophie's favourite people) in the ring for the last run. She drifted off at the start and then crated herself (self-punishment?) but I was able to get her back on the start line, rev her up again, then she ran a beautiful flawless course.

Sent in my entry for the steeplechase - now we wait for confirmation (hope we get in!) and then start with the flight and vacation plans...
