Nedlo Show

27/9/2015

I was really looking forward to the Nedlo show as it is a lovely venue and lots of my agility friends were going to be there.

The first run of the day was a Combined G3-5 Jumping - I walked the course and didn't really like what I found!  Lots of long gaps between obstacles and a wall - I was going to have run this with both Ruby and Pepper and I don't think Ruby had ever seen a wall!

When it came to running the course it was much more fun than I had thought!  I had to run Pepper first and we were clear, albeit with some loopy turns due to rubbish handling and the fact that the ground was still quite wet and slippy!  Then it was Ruby's turn - it wasn't really a Ruby course but I wanted to make sure she had fun.  We set off around the course and she was doing really well, but unfortunately picked up 5 faults for missing a tunnel entry.  Next was the dreaded weave entry, but she got it first time and completed all 12 weaves without fault, and then finished the course!  I was so pleased with her but so gutted about the 5 faults!  

Here is the video of Ruby doing this course:
Pepper was placed 3rd for her run on this course - here she is with her rosette and trophy:

We had quite a long wait before our next runs - Graded 4 - 7 Agility and Graded 1 - 4 Agility for Pepper.  I decided that I wanted to run the courses to win as we are reaching the end of the season and I haven't achieved my goal of getting to Grade 5!  Sadly, the first course didn't go to plan! Pepper knocked a pole and I changed my tactics mid run, which made me lose track of the course and got us E'd!  The final course was a nice flowing one with no difficult handling, but again, she knocked a pole and picked up 5 faults!  So annoying as she rarely knocks poles and we would have won if we'd just been clear!!

So, we have 2 more KC shows to go before the end of the season - fingers crossed for a few clear rounds and a win into Grade 5.  And if I'm not being too greedy, I'd really like Ruby to get a clear in one of her remaining Jumping runs - she's doing so well and it would be great to see her get her first KC rosette!
