We have just got back from 3 days at North Derbyshire Show. Last year I said I wasn't going again as the rain was terrible. We arrived on Thursday to torrential rain, Friday was no better either. Saturday was mostly dry but very cold, today beautiful sunshine! We have had it all.
This was Heidi's last show in Grade 3. She has had a couple of nice rounds with the old pole or two down but she has mostly been a bit wild. She has had to be put back on her contacts A LOT as she has been self releasing, especially if there is a tunnel after. She has also had to be taken back at the start a good few times for breaking her wait and I want that nipping in the bud now so it doesn't become a problem later on.
On the whole I have been quite pleased though, I think only 1 issue with the weaves all weekend and that was where she went over a jump very long and almost landed in the first weave pole and just couldn't slow down enough to do the rest. (Maybe she thought she could save time and do 2 obstacles together!)
We did pairs yesterday with Jackie and Speedy, Speedy took the wrong tunnel and Heidi took a pole and then missed out a jump so we were a bit rubbish really! Congratulations this weekend go to Jackie and Speedy for winning into Grade 4, Natalie and Reno who got a 2nd in G3 Agility at a different show (he won't be far behind now Natalie) and also I have heard Jo and Zippy are only 1 win away from Grade 7! Go Malis!!!
(Anybody think that Kody is comfy?!)
