The Louisville trial opens tomorrow so I need to get my entry figured out and mailed off tomorrow. It's a four day trial. Last year I did three days instead of four. The third day was a bit hard for Auggie, but it was the first time he'd ever done three days. We've since done a few more three day trials and he does great all three days. However, we haven't trialed since... I think it was the first weekend in October? We should be able to get some practice in before the trial, but maybe not a lot depending on what the weather does...
I didn't mind being there four days last year and only trialing three of them last year, but this time I kind of think I'd like to trial all four days instead of wasting a day where we might be able to pick up at least one leg towards something - but at the same time, I also don't want to waste a day (or more) because it's too much for Auggie... thoughts? Louisville is a bit more expensive than most trials or I wouldn't worry about it, but the slightly steeper entry fees have me hesitating.
