I just ran Caliber in this first test to see how things worked and The first day was a little shaky as Cal had never seen a horse before ( and noone clued me in that the judges would be riding horses)
So needless to say the young Cal was very interested in the horses barking and growling at them from time to time to say the least, but he managed to pull out a bird and get a ribbon and his first leg of the Junior hunting test title.
I was very proud even though I was quite the rube as one of my good friends would say
at the first test day and it showed.
Day 2 went much better Cal ran out front and forgot all about the horses (to my relief) found birds and scored his second leg for the JH title.. Of course I was extremley happy to see that Cal quickly overcame his interest in the horses and hunted as I had hoped for by day 2. You might be able to see my bloodpressure had dropped slightly in the day 2 picture
These are hanging proudly in my pups room
Y'all that warned me these tests are addicting were right I can't wait to get out and try Cal in another test and also to try Belle out in the next test..I will definately get Belle around some horses as part of her training first
Congrats to everyone who attended, we really had a good time, it was great fun and I hope you see ya'll at the next leg..

Have you already entered your next one?? The fifth ribbon is really purdy! Good luck to both of you and have fun.
