Getting ready for Show Season

Yesterday was a great lesson. Got some scary contruction barrels and the tarp back out to practice getting satchmo used to different stuff being thrown at him. I put the tarp out so he gets used to going through things and not just around or over. Then we did jumps over bright barrels. He was scared at first but was actually braver than he was before. I don't know if following Bella helped....it had to have at least a little. So I'm confident that in 2 weeks at the pipe opener following Bella once through the water will be just what satchmo needs. Mom took some pictures and now I can update with some recent pics of our progress :) Granted this bunch isn't as graceful as usual but it's still ok :)
