I'm sorry... I'm not too sure to what article you are referring. It could be there's an error in the article. I'd be happy to clarify if I can figure out which you're talking about.

Sorry, I am having to be brief, in between computer crashes and sticky keys. : (

You wrote about "Squaring the Front Cross".

The illustration is of a Hobday jumping box with jumps numbered 1, 2, 4 & 5.

The dog is sent over jumps 1 & 2. "The  handler leaves the landing side of jump 2 in a Post Turn  (keeping dog on the right) and runs to the top of his own lane for the upcomig turn. The handler gets further away from jump 3 as he moves."

If my dog is on my left hand to start and I do a post turn wouldnt he still be on my left hand? I am on the outside of the box, layering jump 4 (3?) so may be quick enough to get ahead of my dog enough to square up the turn by going further out from jump 4 (3?).

I am a little confused.

Cheers,

Jean

You are absolutely right... it should have said left.

I've always know, as a writer, that I require the services of an editor. Often I just can't see the forest from the trees. When I write for Clean Run they edit me right down to the punctuation (not to mention everything PC). But when I submit to OffLead or F&F... what I'm writing is so over their heads that the article gets plugged pretty much as I wrote it.

Thanks. One last question...are the jumps numbered correctly?

Is jump 3, actually the tunnel as in the previous illustrations?

Off to play the squaring game.

 Cheers, Jean
