Yes its only like 3 shows in but thing are already seeming a lot better than last year and most things are getting better every show. Rommy is faster and a lot more focused and above all hes staying with me!! :D. This weekend we went off to the Bretford Easter show on Sunday. I didn't realize before hand but it that was the day the clocks changed so we lost an whole hours sleep :(. So being very sleepy we went off to the show anyways, the satnav was being a complete idiot but we finally got there and Rommy was utterly mad from the second he got out the car. Hes NEVER been that excited straight away before! I wasn't quite sure if it was a good thing or not. Whether it was going to be his complete insanity of uncontrollableness OR Im ready to work crazy... you can never really tell which one it is with Rommy until your trying to get around a course....
SO first up was the 'Egg 'gility' which was a steeplechase with the option of an Aframe (the faster route) or you could go around it with a set of jumps. As we've only been doing the A frame at full height for 3 sessions and always with stride regulators I wasn't quite sure it would be a good idea to do the A frame but in the end I thought we'd be a little be daring (lol) and give it a go. This is def my fave run because he only went and was a blooming star and did an amazing little A frame. Clever Romster! And he only went and got 1st! :O. Dolly spanner was also 2nd but unplaced :(. Thanks to Rhoda and Matthew for the videos!
Next up was Combined 1-3 Jumping. One not do good thing from this weekend was that with every run Rommys waits just got worse. I just about managed to get to past the second jump on the first run, nearly to the second jump on the second run and barely past the first jump on the last. A bit too much enthusiasm. DEFINITELY going to be working on those! Hes normally so good aswell :/. Oh well can't have it all. Anyways back to the jumping, we managed to get another clear round and we got another 1st!
After that last up we had graded 1-3 jumping, it was pretty much the same course backwards but without the weaves. We all had some very clever pups because Rommy got 1st AGAIN, Matthew and Brooke won in the small grade 3. They're first win! and Dolly spanner got an unplaced 3rd. They all had the clever brain juices running that day! :)
I actually CANNOT believe how well Rommy did, hes such a special boy but definitely not the easiest dog ever. So hes now got 2 grade 3 jumping wins... eeek! Tired face picture!
And just because she made us all laugh... Kizzy antics...
I had to dig her out.....
