Ribble show report

Hello,

All being well I am training for the first time this evening in Hereford, as long as we don’t get any more bad weather I may be able to train at home later this week, although that is still a slim chance judging by the foot deep snow still on the course yesterday!

Went to Ribble Sunday, it was an okay show, although Accrington was fairly damp! The dogs had not done any agility since rugby show in mid December, so a few mistakes were not a surprise.

Jack however did get a 9th place in the Olympia qualifier; I would have taken that at the beginning of the day. A top ten place is always what you need, however this year the rules have changed and now it is only the top five that qualify! Never mind.

Jack was also clear in the 7 jumping class, however I mistimed a pull through and cost us time.

Scott was working very well to be fair, considering no training. Only one pole in each class, both turning before a pipe tunnel, so I can practice that now... or when the snow finally melts!

Bye for now, Lee
