    Coldest weekend ever. Possibly even colder than the Cold Easter of ’10, and that was also really damn cold. I could have entered 7 runs per day, but I chose to limit myself to 5. I am not fit enough for 21 runs a weekend! I also didn’t want to mentally tire Dylan, especially after…

    Five runs a day on not-so-flat ground has killed me, I am going to have to get my running shoes on and do some training this summer as well. When I am not flailing around behind Dylan, I can actually handle him well. This was as much a surprise to me as to Dyl! As…

    No videos as I forgot the camera, oops. We ran on rubber contacts for the first time too; Dylan and Bailey couldn’t care less, it didn’t appear to make any difference to their contact performance. Also weirdly quiet to run on! I was surprised to see rubber contacts though, I didn’t remember seeing it on…

    Dylan had a complete meltdown in the first run, he didn’t start off very well but as we got to the seesaw he shut off entirely. I’ve never had that happen before and to be honest, I don’t know what I can do about it now; he was fine on the seesaw at training and…

    Kim had a great run first thing in the Combined 1-7 Jumping, a course with just jumps (no tunnels/weaves), so it was a pure speed kind of course. She finished 7th, I think 4/5s off the winners but she was the top Grade 6 by 8 seconds or something ridiculous. That was fun, but frustrating,…

    Tri Grey Collie Originally uploaded by kayanem More photos added to the Flickr set from last week at the Northern Festival of Agility. I will add more as the week goes on, but I’m having to do them in batches as they need more editing than usual. I had completely the wrong settings on the…

    I love Redcar, even when it’s blowing a gale. Best venue ever. Dylan and I had a terrible half-week though. The best way I can think of to describe his first few runs is out-of-focus … he was clear, or had 5f, but without any speed or drive or focus to speak of. Nothing I…

    Somebody (think it was Julie) said this weekend that Dylan just can’t let go, and that’s exactly it. He is so much better now than even 12 months ago, but even when he’s at his most relaxed and most confident, he’s still not giving 100%. If Dylan was a person, he’d be an accountant. He’d…

    Theme for the weekend? 12 weaves, in every single class. The judges obviously got way too excited about being able to fit 12 weaves in a course again and used them all the time. I love me some weaves but sometimes it’s nice to do a class that doesn’t involved 12 of them. There are…

    Superstar Jet gets first billing this time. She had a fantastic first run on a tricky Grade 3 course and nailed it, lovely fast weaves and just a really cracking run. She won by a nose, a 1st and so into Grade 4! She went clear in the Redmills Open Jumping, and finished up 18th.…
