today was open house for our training hall, so we had the opportunity to run some full courses with a small audience. Sophie did VERY well in the first two runs, staying with me through some tricky points (running straight towards the crowd, I got in a front cross which put me between the crowd and my girl, and she nicely stayed with me over the jump directly in front of the peanut gallery, to curve to the teeter and back down to the centre. She also did some BRILLIANT "get outs" to find the middle jump off set in a group of three, AND I was able to pull her past the "trap" end of the tunnel down to the correct end, at two different places... what a girl! Very proud of her tonight
