Update, EO video and Pics





Hello,

Been ages since I wrote on here, but the days just have been blurring one into the next at the moment, been so busy!

I was at the EO last weekend and was very happy with my runs. The video of my final round is here on the blog, I was very happy although disappointed with the 5r I got which was a silly mistake on my behalf!

Whilst I was in Sweden I had a breakdown with the van and this ment I had a long overnight journey to get back to Calais in time for my EuroTunnel. This journey was not pleasant and wasn’t enjoyable. In fact I would never like to do it again.

On Wednesday I judged at UKA and was judging the masters classes. Attached are the course plans.

On Friday I took my dogs to the beach, which they thoroughly enjoyed. It is about 2 hours drive to the beach but it was nice to spend some time with my dogs having been away for so long!

Now I am away again, having flown to Belgium for a 2 day seminar near Brussels. I will fly back on Tuesday night.

Then it will be time for the KC festival and DINAS, always a very fun couple of weeks.

Denmark 24th - 25th Exercise Plan

Here is my course plan from the last two days in Denmark. We focused on rear crosses and line's through the course.

Today (Wednesday) after the seminar I will drive east up into Sweden and join up with Team GB ready for the EO 2012. Exciting times. I am looking forward to the weekend.

Jutlandia Final Course Plans and Update

Hello,

I have been away for just over 2 weeks now, the last week I spent at Jutlandia Cup. I had some great results and Scotty actually was the top placed dog over the week for the final. The only problem was that I could not run in the final as I was the judge!

I had a 3rd, a 5th and a 7th. These results were the best, Greg was second with one point more, and Jo made it 5th. This showed what excellent results we could get from GB.

Greg, Jo and Myself ran a team on the Tuesday, and we came a close 2nd overall on some tough courses. Jo and Greg did an excellent job and it was great to be part of a very competitive team.

I have attached my course plans and also the finals course plan from the Jutlandia final, won by Remo Mueller in Large & Claudia Zenner in the Medium. I cant find the small winners name and don’t want to spell it wrong, but well done to her also. 3 great runs.

This week I am on a three day training camp. Today I did a lecture on “decision making and line selection” which lasted about 1 hour and with 30mins afterwards outside doing a practical assessment on a built course.

Everything is good so far, even the weather has picked up and the sun is hot here.

Look forward to seeing my GB Team mates on Wednesday and Thursday in Sweden. Today I found out my EO running orders. 1st in Agility, and 213th in Jumping. Start as I wish to go on then, and early at 7.50am!

Speak soon.
