Here in South Africa

Hello Everyone,

Just a quick long into my blog to let everyone know that I have safely landed in South Africa. We arrived yesterday lunch time after a 11 hour flight from Paris and London. the flight was somewhat bumpy but I managed to sleep a lot of the way. Lucy Osborne (also training with me on this trip) managed to sleep practically the whole time!

It is plus 28 degrees here at the moment.

Yesterday we went for a walk on the beach and generally relaxed. It was great to see Kath and James again and we already feel at home.

Today has been a mixture of private lessons and classes. We will post back later, hopefully with some pictures and maybe a course plan or two.

Now its back into the sun.

Olympia live and another couple of funny video's

As the festive season is upon us, here are a couple of video's that will hopefully make you laugh, as well as the live Olympia final run which is also funny. In the festive cheer... Enjoy!

I have had a few lessons this week and now am getting ready for Christmas. The dogs are not so impressed about having to be inside all the time as the weather is just shocking today. Lets hope that it gets better for Sunday!

Olympia Agility Stakes

Hello

These last few days have been a bit of a blur.. only seems a minute ago we were driving down to Olympia looking forward and hoping we would do well.

Now I am finally having time to read through all the congratulations and well done’s. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone. It is amazing and means so much.

We were down at Olympia for several days, watching the mediums run on Thursday night, the smalls on Friday and the Novice dogs Sunday.

Of course Saturday was the day I was competing. Scott worked very well and was on song all day. In the morning semi final he came 4^th, and in the evening final we were the runner up. It was an amazing day. Competing at Olympia is a really special feeling, and I will remember 2011 for a long long long time.

Instead of me describing what happened, enjoy my video that I uploaded on Monday to YouTube (I am sure everyone will find it more interesting than me talking!)

Also enjoy the pictures. Thanks to Ian Watts for the pictures. www.wattsphotography.co.uk

This week is a relaxing one, with a few lessons and preparation for Christmas. It has also just dawned on me that very soon I will be in South Africa for 3 weeks... 14 days now and counting. There is a lot to do still!

Shrewsbury Training Day Sunday 11th December - Exercise Plans

Just an update. I have some good pictures from the LGT Xmas dinner (taken from Saturday night) to upload a bit later. Today I have been working alongside Anthony Clarke doing a joint training seminar in Shrewsbury.

The Morning groups were grades 3. The Afternoon groups were grades 5-7. We had a nice day but the weather got worse and worse as it went on. I had to move on to some small static exercises with the weaves as the ground became very slippy, hence only one plan from the afternoon.

Here are the training plans and exercises from my training session at Shrewsbury today.

Enjoy these course/exercise plans.
