Naughty mummy

Today was all about qualifiers for us, first on was the novice Olympia qualifier, Ronny ran first and unfortunately put us straight out by taking the first pole, on the plus side he had some great contacts and even waited on the see-saw for me to catch up. Keisha ran second and to be honest she was no better, she broke her wait at the start and then took the second pole, definitely not a great start to the day.

Ronny and Keisha then had their jumping class, somehow I missed walking it but thankfully it hadn't changed from running Kody earlier in the morning, I just had to improvise on different lines for Ronny and Keisha during the actual run, sadly Ronny had a pole and then after that it was a very scrappy round. Keisha ran brilliantly but just took a pole right near the end.

The ABC qualifier was this afternoon, lets just say im kicking myself big time as my poor poor handling really let Ronny down, he was proper on form and I think ive done the worst handling for a long time, he even got the dog walk contact before the tunnel.
Keisha went next and started well, she got the A-Frame contact but then completely missed the dog walk one, i must admit im slightly at a loss of what to do next, but I guess that's dogs, cant be good all the time.

Kody had a mixed weekend, he is definitely growing in confidence and he is always keen to work, yesterday he did a great jumping round but just missed his weave entry, today he got his weaves but his jumping was slightly off, I have seen a massive improvement in him so I am feeling more than pleased.

A massive well done to Emma and Maisy for their helter skelter run, it shows great commitment when you can pick your self up and pull a fantastic run out the bag, when that clear round arrives it will be well deserved and probably the best feeling ever (hopefully I will be there to see it).

Finally huge congratulations to Dave and Rusty for winning the Champ ticket, what a great achievement.
