...one step back

Off to Acton last Sunday. Tinky had a full day ahead of her! Starting off with a Master Jumpers course. It was a very tight course, so I didn't have high hopes, but Tink wasn't really paying attention to me, so we didn't finish the course. Steeplechase was a little better, but she took down 3 bars, and missed her weaves... and her weaves were coming along great :(. In Team, Tink missed her weaves again, took a wrong tunnel and knocked a bar, but she did do a sequence nicely that I wasn't sure that she'd get. Tink had a great opening in the gamble, getting the highest points in the opening at 50 points, then at the gamble, I set her up and told her tunnel, assuming she'd take the first jump in the sequence on her way, but just went to the other end of the tunnel, so I left the course thinking it was done, forgetting that until she has done the first obstacle, she can keep running... oh darn! She then ran Standard... and did a good run, finally getting her first Master Standard Q! She ran Standard one more time and was one wrong tunnel entry away from another Q. She finally was getting her weaves back...
