Axstane Agility show - Day 2

Three classes for each of them today, two agility an one jumping which made a nice change. First up Chico had combined grade 1 & 2 agility. A nice flowing course but with quite a few areas you could go wrong if you didnt pay attention the whole way round. We did a running start, he tried hard and did some nice tight turns trough the tricky bits then went wide and ran past a jump 3 from the end. Next he had combined grade 1 - 3 agility. A nice course with not too many tricky bits. I did a running start with him as he has been much more keen this weekend and i really want to keep that enthuiusam. He did a nice round and listened to what i was asking but went wide on one turn and found himself on the bottom of the A frame before he could turn onto the see-saw which is what he was ment to be doing! Last up he had graded 1 & 2 jumping. We did a running start again then a nice round but ran wide past one jump. I then got a bit flustred and handled the final sequence wrong and he put a spin in infront of a jump. All baby mistakes though which we can hopefully sort out with more training. I ran all his contacts today and he didnt miss one so maybe thats the way to go with him?

Campbell had combined 1 & 2 agility first. He did a speedy round which really felt like he was going as fast as he could. He ran all his contacts even though he knows he shouldn't but it was going so well i let him get away with it which im sure i will regret at next weeks show! I was really surprided when i went to check my time to find i was 0.5 sec behind the current winner. He ended up 5th which im very pleased with. This is his best agility placing to date and now gives him 66 agility warrant points. Next up was the jumping where he took a pole. Then we waited 5 hours to do his last class as he was in part 2 of the 1 - 3 agility. Shouldn't have bothered as i managed to get us E'd by over handling him and pulling him off a jump.
