  • EMDAC Midsummer Madness

    in , , , ,

    Hmm, where do I start?! Thursday. Thursday … happened. EMDAC always run the Thursday classes in the evening, usually starting around 5pm and finishing around 8:30-9. It’s usually fantastic, running on cool summer evenings and under the floodlights. It started so well … I elected to run Kim NFC in Introductory for Thursday. I can…

    mollie04 Originally uploaded by kayanem Dylan worked his socks off on Saturday. His Primary Tunnel Teaser run was genuinely really fab on a very difficult course, he did some awesome tight turns and although we went a bit messy at the end, I was quite pleased just to get round! We came 1st, which was…

  • Tailwaggers #3

    What a weird experience – no rain, no snow, no ice! Just a cool but bright day, and standing outside in the sun was lovely. Please can all the future Tailwaggers shows be like this? Power and Speed first, Dylan’s favourite class. The Jumping section was a little too Helter Skelter for me, and true…

  • Tailwaggers #2

    in ,

    Tailwaggers #1 was all about the ice, Tailwaggers #2 was all about the snow. Bob suggested that #3 would be all about the flooding, but we remain optimistic for bright and cheerful sunshine all day. Primary Agility was a fairly straightforward course, but with a tempting little dogwalk/seesaw discrimination at the start. What I really…

  • EMDAC Winter 01

    EMDAC were the only people in the country yesterday not to cancel their show because of the snow. Which seemed like an excellent plan to me, until 7:30 in the morning when we were skidding wildly on the A1 in blizzard like conditions. The A1 was almost completely covered and the road to the venue…

    Very nearly the coldest I have ever been in my life. I have only been colder once, and that was at EMDAC’s 50th Show. I actually think the temperature was lower this time (suffice to say we didn’t get above freezing), but I had twice the layers on. Dylan also thought it was bloody cold.…

  • EMDAC – Mixed Fortunes

    —

    in , , , , ,

    Kim Kim has ruined her reputation for consistency, if nothing else. She couldn’t have shown any less enthusiasm this weekend! She was placed 9th in Primary Agility on Thursday but I can’t even remember running the class so it can’t have been a great run, and it only got worse. We didn’t get another clear…

  • Graduation, upcoming EMDAC, Mollie can Jump!

    I graduated on Monday — I’m now officially a graduate of the University of Leeds! I finished with a 2:1 in Classical Civilizations, I’m really chuffed. Unfortunately I now have to find a job and stop lazing around, very sad. My parents did get me a gift on Monday and so now I have my…

  • Still Grade 2 … EMDAC May and Waldridge Fell

    EMDAC Kim and Dylan at EMDAC this time, but just for one day. Both were entered for 4 runs each but I ended up pulling Dylan from both his agility classes, he’s still not confident on the seesaw. He made up for it by having a decent run in the Helter Skelter (got E’d!) and…
