Becky Horat challenged me to put my footage where my mouth is
and actually post some video, and to my own amusement I sat down and did so. Woohoo! This is my green pair schooling the creek at Happ's last September for the first time. Kody's done it since 2004 and as a Preliminary champ knows he's supposed to trot through water but it was Turbo's first time with a real water crossing and he wanted time to think about it. He actually stepped forward on his own on the first crossing but, thinking it was a puddle and thus shallower on the edges, he shoved Kody off the gravel ford into the deep water!
Coming back across the second time he wasn't too sure about the reflections on the water and wanted to stop and look but Kody unexpectedly decided he was by God going to trot the creek and physically dragged Turbo in with all four legs locked leaving furrows on the bank! LOL
I was actually a bit irritated with him as I didn't want poor T dragged in like that (all he wanted was a little time to think it through and decide for himself it was safe) but it made for great video!
Without further ado, here's the footage:
Let me know what you think. My navigator, btw, was the one videoing from the bank. I wasn't out there alone!
