This was the course Gus & I ran on Saturday. It was very difficult for us. He ran the more difficult white course. Besides knocking most of the jumps and refusing the weaves we ran into a few handling challenges. First I tried to perform a front cross between jumps #6 & #7 and this pushed him off 6 going around it. I got him back on course but he again went wide around number 10 and I am not sure why. He had a beautiful rear cross over 12 to 13. I made the mistake of blind crossing the exit from the #16 tunnel to jump 17 which put me on the outside path. By doing this Gus looked seriously at the off course jump number 13. On our second run I stayed on the inside of the loop and he never looked at 13 and drove forward to 19.
Flex also run the black course. He does not yet have the forward drive so he is very dependent on me to signal each jump and also keeps crossing behind me. I am trying to correct this behavior and work on his forward momentum on course. He also had a small case of the zoomies but came back on the first run. On the second run I got the impression that he was struggling physical (his leg may have still been bothering him) so I let it go and finished up with him.
