Thank you guys! I am def hooked!! My avatar photo is of me doing a Hazard Clinic at Katydid a month or so ago with another mini named Cole, I loved every minute of that as well!!
Those pictures are great but where's the results, the details, and the plan for when you're doing it again?
Come on, are you hooked?!

you are too funny! We won both our classes but there were only 3 entries in the VSE division so I didn't really want to brag on the blue ribbons LOL I was just absolutely thrilled that I (A): managed to remember my courses and (B) that I didn't have 1 ball down in my rounds. Not sure what the plan is for the next one. My goal for right now is the Monster Mini in January, maybe a few HDT's in the fall/winter, but not real sure yet. I am so very blessed to live where I do, the knowledge here is just amazing! So many talented drivers!! And everyone is so very encouraging!!
OH Here's a funny one about my Progressive Cones Class. My original understanding was you drove it (6 cones altogether), if you drove it clear, they tightened the cones up and you drove again. Well after I drove it the first time, they called me over and told me the timer had messed up and asked if I minded going again, I said no prob, I was just using it for experience anyway, I wasn't that that worried about placing. (just as an aside, I was clear both rounds ;
) So now I have driven these cones twice, I come out of the ring, get back to the trailer and me and few other girls are talking and one says "that last cone was TIGHT!" Then it dawned on me... the whole progressive thing... they didn't tighten them up after each round (obviously lol) EACH cone set was tighter, all the way down to the last set being only 5cm clearance... I said, "how bad is it I drove that twice and never even noticed!"
I really did enjoy myself, and absolutely can't wait till the next one!
My little guy is doing great with his training! He started with my trainer last week and is ground driving everywhere and she started dragging some cans behind her yesterday so he could hear the noise and get used to it. I have been working with him at home on ground driving to get him started, but I have no clue how to do the rest so off to school he went!
She is very happy with how he is doing! Says he's a great mover and VERY brave, she hasn't found anything yet that bothers him. If he continues to do well, the next step will be the tire drag! I am so very proud of him! I will keep everyone posted on how he is doing and hopefully get some pics posted soon! He is a little guy, 32" at the withers on a good day LOL I have been worried that he might be too small, but everyone says I need to give him a chance. If at any point we don't think he will be capable of handling it, we will stop. He has a home with me for life no matter if he drives or not, so its not a big deal
My goal is ultimately to get something bigger in the next few years. I have always loved the B size minis, but Billie (my little guy) has had my heart since the moment he was born so there has never been a question of him not sticking around
