LURE COURSING and RACING __________________________
2013
2012
- Mara and Kya ran in a few ASFA trials in November and December and both earned points toward Mara's field championship and Kya's LCM titles.
- In November, all three got to participate in LGRA straight racing. They had to race out of the starting box which wasn't fun for them at first but once they got the hang of it, it was no big deal. Mara got 2nd place both days with a few points toward her GRC title. Bek got 4th place the first day. Kya could have beat everyone in speed, but was a bit tentative about the starting box, she'll get them next time!
- For fun Kya and Mara participated in the CAT trial in October and both earned their CA titles that weekend! Thanks to KC Thompson for some amazing photos!
- Mara's first ASFA Best in Field!
Mara earned her first Best in Field at the 3rd annual Desert Dog Trial today, 7/20/2012! Gooooo Mara!
- Mara earns her Senior Courser & AKC Field Champion on April 7 in Wichita, KS!! In only her 4th AKC trial, Mara won over some really tough competition. She went Best of Breed over specials for a 4 point major. Mara finished with all majors and has 3 Best of Breeds!! She had a great run for Best in Field as well!
2011
- Mara's only 3rd time coursing was on the big stage of the RRCUS National Specialty in Rapid City, SD on September 16. There were over 100 Ridgebacks in competition. Mara continued her winning streak and won 1st place in her stake and another 5 pt major!!! Mara had a great run off for Best of Breed too. Mara just needs 1 point to complete her AKC Field Championship!
- Mara made her lure coursing debut with a big splash! On Saturday, May 7, Mara Qualified and ran in ther first AKC trial, not only earning 1st place in Open, a 5pt major but also Best of Breed! She ran her heart out for Best in Field too, but couldn't pull it off. On Sunday, she did a repeat, and went Best of Breed with a 4pt Major! We didn't let her run for BIF since it was so hot. Mara is over half way to her Field Championship title in just one weekend.
Check out photos from her big weekend!
