The Next Weekend....

So after the bloodbath that was the USDAA trial I decided that I had ignored my instincts (and her signals) and had pushed Carbon too hard and asked too much of her during a two-day trial on a VERY hot Singapore weekend. The SKC trial on the following weekend was a chance to recover our dignity and we both tried hard to do just that.

SKC offers just two runs -- Agility and Jumpers. In Agility she did a good job but had a flyoff from the A-frame, so no Q and no placing but otherwise a respectable run. Jumpers run was fine -- a very simple and straightforward course, and she did very well, placing third and Q.

Here's what judge Cheryl Bedggood said -- "A lovely steady approach to the course with some excellent handling is what it takes and this team showed us that today. With a clear round in the time of 22.27, this team attained a well deserved 3rd place in the class and were a pleasure to judge. Well done and congratulations on this excellent effort!"

See how much happier she looks?



Then just last weekend another SKC trial -- more on that in the next post....
