Sounds like a good ride for Baby Girl.<br />Interesting to read about how you two did on the obstacles.<br />We did the exact same thing that you guys did with the log drag...we made it calmly all the way to the opposite branch, but were a little too far to the side to reach the branch, so we had to drop the rope. We got zeros for our score, though! And my friend Roni and her mare made it almost to the branch, but got the rope and logged to close to her mare and it twisted around the legs and her horse freaked and she had to drop the rope. But they ended up with 4's and a PLUS! I just don't understand the judging on that obstacle. Oy!<br /><br />And you know that I always give a score for a team if they have tried an obstacle unless a horse completely balked, but there were several 2-part obstacles, like the bridge/cows and slicker/hat, and we did the slicker perfectly, but couldn't do the hat. And we did the bridge with no balks, but couldn't get through the cows. I thought we'd at least get a half score or something, but instead we got zeroes...same as if we had never completed any of the obstacle at all. Isn't that weird?<br /><br />And I agree about the gravel road trot/weave obstacle. Didn't make a whole lot of sense for the poor, tired, hot, sore horses. <br /><br />Of course, at the end of the day, I was just glad to finally be riding my mare again.<br /><br />It was great to see you again, too.<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.com
