sheena Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Pretty sure they have to drop on the table at ADAA but not ANKC. With ADAA the dog has to drop on the table & the weave poles are closer together. We are going out to the ADAA Grand Prix at Tamworth in October. Any other DOLERS going Should be a real good 4 day weekend in a huge new indoor equestrian arena. Because my dog is 510 she wil have to jump higher at 550 & there will be wings on the jumps. So a few challenges to work on beforehand. At present she will drop automatically on the table in practice & at training, but no way will she drop in a trial ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Okay I'll go with the drop for ANKC to or it'll be confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I trained an automatic drop on the table and the first ANKC trial he dropped beautifully and we also got a qually However while he still drops at training, he now wants to stand on the table at a trial . I haven't come across a table in an ADAA trial yet (it is optional at all levels). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grand Prix is always a great weekend. Nice and relaxed, but heaps on at the same time. Both my guys jump 550 - one is 475mm and the other is 540mm. (Make sure your dog is registered in the Regular Programme if you want them to jump 550 in the intermediate and open events. Otherwise they will be jumping 650mm.) See you there!

CK and Xena are my dogs who will be running. Wikki is the little thing that looks like a bear cub at the moment. I'll be in BAD clothing - bright yellow and blue. AFAIK I will be the only guy from our club so I shouldn't be too hard to spot. If all else fails just ask someone to point out Tony from the BAD club and they are likely to know who you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Festival of Agility sounds fun! I've entered Snooker & Gamblers tomorrow but I have NFI how to do them ;) Off to look for a 'guide for dummies' :D I did a Snooker round once for judges training but found it so confusing!

I have no idea how snooker works, but we did a gamblers run the other night Basically you have to work out how you can get a lot of points quickly, then keep running over the 'double it' obstacle taking a jump or a tunnel in between, we had the A frame as our double, but keep in mind if your dog takes the obstacle incorrectly your points will be halved instead of doubled, I think you also have to jump the finish as well or you wont qualify for any points, so make sure you stay in time and get time to go back to the finish jump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenGirl85 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Last time my club had a competition I was scribing for the gamblers, for most of the groups nobody made it in time so really all you had to do was take a few jumps and double it a few times and finish and you would win, everyone else was getting high points but were unable to finish on time so they got disqualified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
