I have been very busy recently, we have had a couple of day shows – Worcester and Nottingham and then the last weekend at Hinckley which is a always a fantastic show and this year was no exception at a new venue and lovely weather!

Worcester was ok, a bit wet but thankfully we avoided the heavy downpours and were home by 3.30 so got the chance to go to the cinema and see Star Trek! Which was brill!

Indy won two of the classes he was in and Wych got an unplaced clear – Mark managed a 9th in that class with Cody.

We then both failed in the next two classes, so not such a good result.

Nottingham was good show, not so good to run on and since then my ankle has been hurting and swollen! Must put my feet up this week!! I would be so lucky!

Nottingham was good, Wych got a 3rd place in her grade 6 jumping and Indy won his Crufts qualifying class and won all his champ heats and then the final!What a star he is.

Mark drove there so was able to drink in the afternoon and then slept all the way home and evening!

Sunday was a lovely relaxing day at home with lovely sunshine, we also went to the cinema again to see Angels and Demons which was excellent as well.

Hinckley was great lovely weather and a chance to relax, my ankle was a bit sore still.

Indy got a 2nd in the Crufts and EO qualifier which was my priority, he flew round the champ jumping and did a fantastic run until the last but one jump when he mistimed and took off far to early and crashed into the pole and came out limping!

So I withdrew him from the agility round, Jeanette Tandy had a fantastic run in the final and won the ticket. Alan Gardner and Jude won the medium – about time! The large ticket was won by Lee Windeatt and Bold, there were many fantastic runs in this final.

Wych had a great weekend, she got a 2nd in the grade 5/6 jumping and a 12th in the 6/7 Jumpiing – both runs were very complicated and she ran them beautifully. She also got a clear in the crufts agility but I fell over at the end so it seriously slowed us up!

On the sunday Indy loooked sound so I did a training run in the agility and Mark ran him and got 2nd in the jumping – his running him in the champ at Newton Heath so he wanted some practice!

Indy looks ok now but will get him checked out at the physio tonight.

Wych had another 2 clears – so no mistakes in her runs this weekend. She got a 20th in the KC Olympia qualifier on a tough course which she ran brilliantly and less than a second behind Lee Windeatt and Shy. She was unplaced in the other agility it was a fast course with many clears.

Well done to Hazel Barker and Rocky on getting 2nd in the Olympia Novice qualifier and it was  her last chance!

Looking forward to Cartmel this weekend and going to see my new pup Kayos so doubly can’t wait!

No news on the house front yet still plodding along as they do!
