Hi Dawn,

Thanks for your input! She doesn't really stutter step, although sometimes she will chip in, if you are familiar with that term from the horse world.

Our jumping problems are limited to the high jump, she is able to do her full width (48 inches) on the broad jump without any problems. When I first started teaching her the broad jump, she did tend to misjudge and step on the front board, but after standing the front board on its side for about a month, she stopped doing that.

This morning, I got up early and went over to Home Depot. This afternoon, I built myself 5 more jumps of my own design. They aren't quite as sturdy as the other ones I buillt from plans on the internet, but they will be easier to carry and thus more practical. I'm ready to start over from the beginning on this, whatever it takes. I don't believe in quick fixes, so I'm ready for some work. :) :) :)
