Seren - 2 turn track, 3.5hr old. One food drop/leg, little bit of scuffing after both turns
Once again my training plan was disrupted. About an hour before the track was due to be run, some young men arrived to play in the hocky rink. They were still at it when it was time to go, & were creating one of those noises that drives Seren up the wall by the hocky puck hitting the metal sides of the rink. It was hard to even get her to the start flag. I decided that was not good for building her attitude, went & asked how long they expected to continue. Was told 20 min & I thought we could handle that. By the time they quit, track was 3’50” old. She wasn’t gung-ho, but willing. All was going pretty well until the 2nd turn, when one of the guys came back to hit a few more times. I didn’t worry about letting out line but supported her through the turn & after it. She did well, got down leg, & indicated article. I was proud of her for being so brave, & I think she was proud of herself. Too bad it had to be such an aged track, but I don’t think age was a factor in her performance.
Dylan- 2 turn track, aged 1 hour. One food drop/leg, no scuffing except at start.
Results: Articles weak today, everything else lovely. 1 hour age & goose poop in field not an issue. He seems very at ease now with me being 20-30 feet behind him.
