Had a really nice day at Pachesham show! I wasn't sure how good they would be after a long break from training over the Christmas holiday, but they both did me proud!
Ruby was entered for 4 runs - I ran the 2 Agility courses NFC which I will continue to do until she can seesaw. Her contacts are still a big problem but I am going to start training her with a toy instead of treats so that the 'training in the ring' will have more value! I also need to paint my plank so that I can do some work on this at home! The first agility run had 12 x weaves - eek! She missed them on the first attempt, entering after the second pole, but on the second attempt she did all 12 beautifully!
The Jumping round was not great as they both missed the weaves and were E'd, however they did both jump the long jump without a problem even though they haven't seen it at training for a while.
The Steeplechase was brilliant for both of them. It was a really nice flowing course and both girls ran clear with Pepper being placed 7th and Ruby 5th! Brilliant result for both of them but especially Pepper who ran at Medium height for the first time!
Very pround of both of them! Here they are with their rosettes:
