Hare 'N' Hounds

Laura and I travelled up 200 odd miles on Friday night, and stayed in a travlodge only 10 mins from the venue. I think we eneded up getting to the venue at just after 8, which is pretty early for us... but turned out we were actually late as the show started at 8! Luckily, we had enough time to walk our courses.

My first run was Graded 4-7 Jumping. Pete Jennings had set a really nice course but there were 2 bits where I thought I would lose Pie. The turn after the snake (where he had the pole) and then coming out of the tunnel after the snake. I was late with my turns (shock) but thought he worked quite well and was fairly pleased with the run.



Then was Combined something Agility. Was rubbish but here's the video anyway...



Then was Graded 6/7 Agility. I had a little trouble working out how I was going to handle the start and in the end didn't even do it how I had intended. A cross behind?! I know!!
It was an nice round, I thought, although pretty obvious i'm just lolling around, and P did a nice position-go on his A-frame. Not so well on his dogwalk - NAUGHTY! I managed to achieve my one clear round goal though :) Well done to Laura and Plods who won this class and so now have 3 wins towards Grade 7 woop!
Here's P's run.



Then the last run of the day was Combined 1-7 Jumping. I was cold, tired and my head wasn't in it. The thought of having to do a cross behind also wasn't good! There was no way I could get out of it, but did actually manage to do it - even though the silly woman got in the way of the camera so you can't actually see it :(
P ran past a jump - from my lack of dummying. But bounced a few jumps which was good.



Next show isn't until Mid Downs, then have Crufts. Laura and I have X Factor Tour Live tickets for Sunday at Wembley which should be good and then we're training with Lee the following Saturday.

Walridge Fell

Ok... I've clearly been rubbish at updated by blog so apologies for that! But not much to say about Waldridge, only in that I was shocking as per usual! So no videos are going up haha!

But just want to say well done to Laura and Plodders for winning Grade 6 Jumping - getting their first win towards Grade 7 woop!
