How time flies...

... when you're havin' fun. It's been over a year since my last post. More like a year and a half. In that time, Moxie finished his C-ATCH, at Bay Team in early November, '09. He earned the equivalent of his C-ATCH 2 in May 2010 ... but we are going for C-ATE points, so no actual new pole and ribbon. We have largely transitioned over to USDAA, which is considerably more of a challenge.

Because of his slightly funky conformation, and a history of injuries early on, I have opted to run Moxie in the Performance division in USDAA, where he only has to jump 16". His Championship division jump height would be 22", and while he doesn't seem stressed at that height, I'm afraid that long-term it wouldn't be good for him. He is now closing in on his Performance championship title, which used to be called APD, but which by the time he gets it will be PADCH.

I haven't abandoned CPE altogether. Miko is only a few Q's away from his C-ATCH. He also does a little USDAA and has graduated from the starters/advanced classes to the Masters ring. Thank goodness -- no more ring conflicts! And especially, no more having to learn 2 separate sets of courses.
