Finally after much hard work and training Stitch was ready for his first show so we packed him into the van on Sunday feeling excited and with Mum feeling a wee bit nervous – Stitch was oblivious that the day would be any different.
His first run was the Graded 1-4 Agility and he was CLEAR, he ran cautiously, kind of ‘am I really allowed to play this time’ around the course, and Mum worked his contacts but he still won the class by 15 seconds! In his next two runs he was much more confident, in fact a little too confident because he wasn’t thinking about his weaves so rushed them and made mistakes. But we are still very proud of Stitch Grade 4 after only 32 seconds on grade 3!
Hex – 2nd in Grade 4 Jumping
I let Hex down in her other classes with my crappy timing, but she was flying!
Kif - 3rd in Grade 5 Jumping
I feel he would of had a really good place in the Combined 5-7 class, it’s was a fantastic course by Barrie James, but Kif ignore my ‘here’ and the arm telling him to jump and decided to do the weaves so we were E’d at Jump 3, but the rest of the course was a dream and worth a mention.
Sarah & Jemma came 11th in the Combined 1-4 Jumping. Speedy Jem, Well done!

ReplyDeleteI had a lovely day. It started out a bit cold chilly and I was SO nervous. I needn't have been.Stitch was a super chap. I would like to thank Lesley for all the hard work she has invested in getting this little chap up to such a fantastic standard(and putting up with her mother's senile and blonde moments). This has NOTHING to do with the fact that she is going to be running him when I am doing my duty as a loving wife(NOT going to shows on my husbands weekends off!!)Also on my thank you(Oscar speech) list would be Toni Keating and our friends at SWAT for being gentle with me in Groups,and tolerating the HIDEOUS amount of noise polution when he watches others. Thank you all folks.
