Lincoln Show

I've been a bit late updating our blog this week but while i've got 10 mins I thought i'd get on with it. To be honest not much has been happening here, it just seems to be raining constantly! Last weekend at Lincoln show was no exception. It just poured down all Friday night and into Saturday morning. The show was an hour late starting while they decided wether it could go ahead or not. As the rings were ok they decided to go for it and see how the day progressed. As it happens the rings remained in very good condition all weekend, it was just the walkways which didn't. They ended up being pure mud! I think some of the campers had to be towed off too as their is no way their vans would have coped. We did have some spells of sunshine mixed in with the thunder, lightening, hail stones and rain. It seemed to rain every time I took my jacket off and left it in the van! The picture is of the ground next to the van after a 'shower'.

Anyway onto the agility. Heidi is continuing to run well, she did pick up a few E's this weekend but not naughty ones, just an off course jump or tunnel. All in all not too many poles either and I was pleased with her, she is still working nicely and listening.

Kody is another story, I really think we are getting worse. I have lost all confidence running him now which is just making him worse when we start to run and it just seems like a vicious circle. I don't think we had run that I can say I was pleased with this weekend. He did start off well in one of his classes and stopped at the bottom of the A-frame but then just wouldn't take the jump in front of him no matter what I did so we ended up leaving the ring. Unfortunately due to the terrible weather here we haven't been able to do any training at home so I can't try out anything or even practice running him other than at club (where he is fine). Back to the drawing board...

Today the doggies have had hydro which has worn them out. No shows now for a couple of weeks for us. I think I'm kind of glad. Don't fancy another weekend of being soaked through!
