Hare N Hounds - 28th January

Big day out today first day of the season but most importantly Honeys first experience of a KC show!!!! I wasn't quite sure how she'd take it, I needn't of worried she took it all in her stride clever girlie she met loads of people and had lots of cuddles :D Sat watching in the big arena with all the noise and hustle and bustle and not a peep bless her shes just great :D
On to the agility then :) First run of the day 5,6,7 graded agility I had a bit of a tricky time in the queue Im still not confident about being in grade 5 and feel a bit out of place atm, this isn't helped when people walk in front of me to get their ticket gah!! Hopefully the more shows I do I will be able to say excuse me we are here lol I also find indoors sooooo hard at times as some people in the queue don't give us a lot of room and I try not to make a big issue of it but at times it can get the better of me and we head into the ring with me all stressed out. So Im going to start staying something no matter who they are!! The run went ok until the right hand weaves, Bells kept coming out at 4 argh!!! 3rd time lucky then we where E'd on a call off. First run of the days never the best ;)
Next was Jo's ABC comb 1-7 lovely course but numpty me pulled Bells off jump 2 so we got a refusal so annoying as we did the rest lovely even managed to get her in the wrong end of the tunnel twice.
We finished the day with 4,5 agility the queue was a bit stressful but this lovely lady behind us saw me struggling and made us a space stopping anyone coming too close behind, there are some lovely people at agility :D The start was perfect for a long lead out so I went for it (tho I did have to put Bells back once but I think it was because people where stood behind her talking and she was a tad unnerved) and it flowed lovely Bells was calm and focus working nicely, there was bit towards the end I thought we'd struggle as walking it was a rear cross with a push out but running Bells had other ideas turning back into the gap I thought was too tight lol I was so please to go clear as they are the runs Im aiming for calm, focused and fast :D I didn't think we'd come anywhere so missed the presentations, norty!!!, so on checking her time was really shocked to see she'd come 3rd only 2 sec behind, she really ain't half bad this girl of mine :D
Sally & Kandy had more giddy happy runs which was great they are improving week on week it should all come together nicely for Easter :D
