We went to TAG agility show today at Shrewsbury Showground. Ruby went in the ring first in the graded 1-3 agility. I wasn't sure how she would do as she has been lame on and off for the last month but she was obviously glad to be back doing agility and she does love being outside. She ran really well on what was quite a challenging course. There was 12 right hand weaves which were catching quite a lot of people out but Ruby has good independent weaves so they were no problem for her. She even managed to get all her up contacts which she struggles with more than the down ones for some reason. We did a clear round. I was so pleased that she enjoyed herself and wasn't lame but then I found out we had been placed second! What a little star she is.
Saffy was also entered but didn't manage quite so well. she tends to lose her mind when faced with contact equipment although she got her contacts she skipped a couple of jumps to get on the A frame. I knew she couldn't do the righthand weaves so made sure I called her to me and tried to do them from the left but she was just too excited to concentrate on them. She had fun though.
Ruby also got a clear round in her combined Agility but was not quite quick enough to get placed this time. I ran Saffy in a jumping class to see if she could do better without the contact equipment. and she did the second half of the course perfectly unfortunately she ran round the weaves in a circle twice before doing them and did the tunnel twice too before I got her listening to me
