I decided to get the panel jump out and do some work with it today. I had intended to work all the recall to heel positions with it, but I got sidetracked, and only did the classic presentation and then serp and 270 with two jumps.
To be safe, I took the top two panels off and had Revel jump back and forth over it a few times. No problems there.
I then added the other two panels for a height of 24." Revel acted like the panel jump was just a normal jump. He didn't go around it, he didn't stop, and he didn't even look at it on the approach or take-off. It was very unexciting.
I added motion to the serp and 270 recalls. His 270s were lovely, but he didn't recall over one of the serps.
We also worked a little bit on the A-frame. I'm still getting a feel for what his baseline behavior is for that obstacle. Right now, I don't feel like there is a baseline. Today I just put a stride regulator on to see what would happen. I got some very good performances and some poor ones. Revel may have been distracted by my slats, which are crumbling and falling apart. I really need a new A-frame.
