Cold Wet Nose

Cas had been invited to receive an award around lunchtime so we got there early to have a look round. Our first port of call was the 60 Weave Challenge which Cas loves, she did it (including 2 jumps) in a time of 16.2 (I think) and finished 4th. Then Ember did it in a time of 17. (something!) finishing 8th and Rum in a time of 19.(something). The top 8 went through to a final in the main ring later on which was two lanes each with a 2 jumps and 24 weaves between and it worked like a knockout. Ember (the only non collie in the final!) went first and was closely knocked out. Then Cas went and won through the rounds to the final and in the end came 2nd.


Cas & I received our award in the main ring at lunch time and then we did a display to Cotton Eye Joe in the main ring where my timing was a little bit out and I gave her a couple of wrong commands, but otherwise she was fab and didn’t bark!! Straight after that we were in the dance ring running a masterclass for the afternoon and used Rum and Ember. The children loved it, especially Ember as she is small enough to weave through even the smallest persons legs J I was so proud of them both, they worked harder than me lol!

At the end of the day we did some filming for CBBC, Rum did some skipping and Cas did some basketball playing :-)
