    I think I have a death wish.. Lol

     I introduced Maze to barrel racing on Wednesday night. Well she's a natural at that once I got my foot work down.
    So last night I brought Sandy to the agility drill team practice to keep me company on the bus and my trainer decided to give her a go. Yep.. She loved it!

    So now once I get my own car, I have two high energy, intense dogs doing barrel races! Oi!

    And we learned that when I'm running a slow mellow dog, I mess up my handling but give me a psycho on feet, I'm fine. Go figure.

     Is my club really the only one that does this?? LOL! I've had the same reaction on another forum I post to.

    It helps build distance between the handler and dog as well helps with footwork. And the public enjoys the races when we hold public events with the horse club.

    The basis is there are numerous teams made up of one dog and one horse (run at different times) and the team with the fast time combined wins. It's lots of fun.
