She sets up a course and pushes them through from the ground and over the jumps pretty regularly. I used to jump with Cowboy—small jumps. I only did it to prepare for spring trails when Cowboy would jump down logs and streams. It was more for me.

We have lots of downed trees, so I drag them across trails to make low jumps, piles sometimes and other times single obstacles. You might want to do something like that on one of the trails you built on property?

I can't wait to see where you'll go with Carmen now that your partnership has reached a point of more mutual trust in many more situations. I've got my fingers crossed for the E-C spooking to be resolved and can't wait to hear how your progress with that goes!<br /><br />I'm really curious to see how Carmen will take to jumping with her mindset about the world. Q (whom we know shares so many similarities with Carmen) shockingly takes to jumping pretty well once I've established with her that her job is to jump things no matter what, which is shocking when you consider how spooky she can be!
