Pepper and I went to the first Scrambles show on Saturday! The weather was very kind to us and it was really friendly, but sadly our performance wasn't quite so positive!
Our first run was Jumping - Pepper started off really well, she was flying, but half way round I pulled her off a jump she was supposed to take so we got 5 faults! I was so worried about her taking the wrong course that I got the course wrong!
Second was the first Agility - she was very excited and leapt off every contact - oops!
The second Agility wasn't much better, but she did do a lovely 12 weaves! I really must work harder on her contacts and stop letting her get away with leaping off the end!
Final run was the Steeplechase - the course wasn't very nice and I wasn't really looking forward to running it. Once again Pepper set off at a great speed but got so far ahead of me that towards the end she looked back for me and back jumped! Oh, well! A good reminder that we can't win rosettes every time we go to a show and some clear pointers of things to work on!
