Got to love a podium, even if it’s not the one you’d quite like! Still all the other runs were good.

A podium's a podium ! We should have been at Bolesworth this weekend but Ziggy is lame so I had to withdraw which I'm a bit gutted about. I did go along to watch for a bit yesterday as I was so bored at home, I'd even taken Friday off work 
. It's a fab venue but the really suffered from Storm Dave last night and sadly a spaniel got spooked and has run off. Just hope she finds her way back now the wind has dropped a bit

Excellent news about the wee spaniel.
We're back from two days at Vision, 1st G6-7 jumping and 3rd G6-7 agility for the small one. Mixed bag for large one as usual. Her agility was crap (0/4 A frames
) and we were scuppered by some course designs today with bizarre lines, but she did actually try her best on those that suited and we had some nearly moments. Best run of the weekend was a 19 second jumping run with just one pole down. And 8/8 startlines held, so small victory.

No placing for us yesterday and a flat tyre meant I could only walk the first agility course once, and I handled it really badly from many angles he felt pressurised in that run and as we were E by the second jump I handed him into the weaves and saw his confidence grow. We did get all six contacts which was fab, and I ran the second agility course exactly as I planned it and was delighted with how great he was. One pop out at the second weave pole and time faults meant no placings.
We had nine time faults. There were 11 jumps in that round. He wastes so much time in the air that I guess faults are inevitable.
