Early Morning Fun

Location: Holly Ridge Farm in Ashland, VA

Weather/Conditions: 47 degrees, mostly cloudy, minimal wind

Cover: Grass

Age: 20 minutes

Tracklayer: myself

I put in an easy two turn track before work. All walking because of the planned minimal aging. It only aged about 20 minutes. Saber indicated the start article and was rewarded and then she was off and running. Actually she started methodically but strong. She made the first turn and started running down the track. She almost did a sliding stop for the article. It was a very small tin (1.5" x1.5") with hot dogs in it. She downed, got her hot dogs, and was back to work as I was stuffing the article in my pocket. She hot footed down the track, nailed the second turn and downed at her final article.

There were a couple of times when she was left of the track. I stepped behind her (from Kyla's class) and she almost immediately moved directly back on the track. That is a very strange phenomenon but it seems to work! And I remembered without MaryAnn reminding me :) Anyway Saber was a rockstar. I like to throw in easy tracks to keep it fun and she definitely seemed like she was having a good time.
