Background Info:
Magic is (approx) a 2 1/2 year old American Sable/Dutch mix. I bought him for $10 from a friend and I thought he was a she.
He started his hopping career this past February. When he first started I never thought he'd learn to go over the jumps, let alone jump a 9 inch jump! Now, he's jumping up to 16 inches! He isn't as good as Ollie (owned by Rachel), but he's getting better.
I think i have to re-train him, because he doesn't go over the jumps without encouragement and he's been at the same height level for a while. He also doesn't like to go over very tall ones. I'm hoping that if I re-train him, and form a better bond with him, that he'll do much better.
*Magic at the 9 inch jump when he first started hopping! The towel was underneath so he wouldn't go under. He now hops this jump like a piece of cake!*
*Double jump; approx 12 or 14 inches? I need to get these out again and set them up.*
*Cross bars jump. I raise it quite often!*
*Free jumping the cross bars*
*Landing*
*Back shot!*
*A scary 21 inch drop! This was the only way he'd jump this!* ;D
More to come! Enjoy!
