Open Practice for Sunday, July 12

Posted on July 12, 2015 by wilsonjs

We will have a limited open practice today. Due to the heavy rains last night, the ground is wet and could be slippery. I will not put out tunnels and will limit sequences to two or three. If you want to work on single obstacles or handling skills, this might be a good time.
