Darling Mama’s Got Her Mojo Back achieved his Dock Senior Excellent 13 in his 10th consecutive year of jumping with NADD. Mojo had accumulated 575 competition jumps over 3 NADD disciplines. Mojo is pictured with his owner, Nora Reid and her son Zack Varner. Zack is a person with significant developmental challenges and he held Mojo during all of his competition jumps. Steve Powell, of NADD is awarding the ribbon. Steve taught Mojo to swim 10 years ago and it was a great honor to have him judge these title jumps.
