UKA this weekend :)

Hiya,

I decided to book a couple of UKA shows as they're smaller and you can enter some classes NFC and take toys in to try and build Rio's confidence...and.....it worked! OH went in with Rio for the agility with her tennis ball and it really helped her confidence. We just did the Saturday the results were:

Roxy 1st Steeplechase (won by 4 seconds! - she's a speed demon!!)
Zara 3rd Steeplechase
Rio 1st in Beginners Jumping
Penny 1st in Veteran Agility, 2nd Veteran Jumping (...I'm to   to say how many were in the veteran classes!!   - it'd hurt her feelings publishing that te he)

Roxy had a fantastic round in the jumping, I worked her from the middle of the course, she didn't bark once and did exactly as I said all at the speed of lightning...until I crossed in front of her on the weaves...and stepped on her foot. I stopped and rubbed her foot better, and carried on the round clear. It was such a shame as she'd done sooooo well. So all in all a really good result after some really disasterous shows lately!! Anyone copmeting next weekend at Cheltenham? We're there on the Saturday so see you there?!

Well done to all of you 

William and I still miss the shows and training. I wish we could go back to doing it again, but I can't risk William's back. Having to stop doing it has left a huge dent in our lives

Sorry to hear about Williams back, that's a real shame  Will you start with little Louis? He's such a sweetie - it'd be lovely to see him at the shows 2010/11?!

I'd like to have a go at agility with Louis, but I'm pretty sure he will be more of a challenge to train than William was! Hopefully we'll start training properly next summer but will do little bits of training at home before then, once he's old enough. In the meantime Louis will be going to puppy training and ringcraft starting next month. If he's good enough to show I will probably do a bit of showing when he's a puppy, but agility is what I really want to do.
