I figured it would be a culture shock, so I put Secret in just Gamblers, Jumpers & Performance Speed Jumping. Kaiser got to run Standard in addition since I know he at least knows all of the equipment.

I run Secret in 16" Skilled in NADAC, so going up to 22" in USDAA was obviously going to be a big change for her. She has never had a problem with jump heights at home, but has always stressed at trials, which is why I chose to drop her in NADAC. So that said, I thought she handled 22" very well at this trial!
Highlights were that she didn't freak out at the judge running around the ring with us in Gamblers (she has previously had issues with judges in the ring). She didn't seem bothered by the different contact equipment (ie: slats and higher a-frame). And she did her teeter in Gamblers! Yay!
We definitely came away with things we need to work on -- but none of it was news to me. I know I need to get her on different teeters on a more regular basis. I knew she had never seen a broad jump in her life prior to Saturday -- I was hoping she'd just, you know, go over it, but that was not the case.

It's a start! She did manage a Q and 2nd in P1 Jumpers at the end of the day, which unfortunately didn't get on video.

I got her PSJ run on video -- where you can clearly see her telling me that she has never seen one of THOSE (the long jump) in her life. lol
Course maps and a full write up are in my blog link if you are into those things.
