Lune Valley Agility

Rum well, gosh I had forgotten how much we struggled indoors as everything is so close and judges seemed to have a thing about really close pull throughs. In the C4-5 Jumping he was too responsive and pulled off a jump early, the rest he ran lovely. Then G5-7 Agility and I was determined to run his contacts confidently dropping his contact command 'stop' as this had been causing him to creep down the contact, so once he was position I gave him his release and they were a lot quicker and was so chuffed - thanks Lee for the tips :-) I then didn't hold my position enough for a pull through but the weave entry was REALLY difficult and he was nowhere near getting it. Finally G5-7 Jumping - I think there were 5 pull throughs in this class and actually he didn't do to badly and got a fairly tricky weave entry but I could tell by the end of today he was getting a little fed up of being nagged. Sooooo pleased with his contacts though :-D

Cas ran C6-7 Jumping and I was in the wrong place so made a mess of it, then G5-7 Agility and she was fab apart from missing her contacts (this will probably be her last agility class as am now retiring her to jumping) and knocking a pole and wing which landed on her head!! She is fine and ran lovely round G5-7 Jumping just having a pole then I was lazy and didn't send her to the tunnel.

Ember was in C1-7 Agility and only missed her weave entry, got her contacts nicely. Then C6-7 Jumping and stupid handler made the exact same mistake she did with Cas! C1-7 Jumping and we stormed round, had a bit of a wide turn where she wanted to carry on and not turn, but we ended up 2nd! Finally C6-7 Agility and the only good things were contacts and weave entry - the rest was awful lolol!

Got home just in time for Mrs Doubtfire - love that film, lol very sad!
