Apparently we didn't actually get charged with a refusal for our Grand Prix. We still didn't qualify because his being startled and stopping meant we were 0.13 seconds over the SCT. Dang! Now of course I just wish I had run a little faster--I had him hold his DW contact a bit to say good boy, and if I'd pushed him on we would have got the Q, but oh well. I'm impressed we were that close! It also makes me feel even more confident that we'll be able to Q in the future. Any of a few spots--a more confident teeter, a lack of being startled and coming to a complete stop, a shorter DW contact, a tighter line...it's not too hard to shave off 0.13 seconds! Good boy, Jonah.
