This weekend was what my mum termed a 💩🥪
Saturday we went to FAB KC 🐶 My guys struggled so much on the ground and could not keep their footing even on the wider turns. I didn't want to call it quits after their first runs as wanted to see if the ground improved during the day. Misty went on the go slow and had multiple poles (not normal for her!) She did come away with a 2nd in jumping with a pole down. The boys did learn to collect to the ground conditions but found it all very frustrating that they couldn't get it right and Caesar started to shut down on me 😭 Unfortunately, not a venue I will be back to in a hurry depite the great set up 😢
Sunday I took the horses jumping at Coombelands 🐴 Leo has gone really backwards and is napping so eliminated in the 85cm. He was much the same in the British Novice but I somehow managed to get round with just 1 stop and lots of vocal encouragement 🙈 Hopefully we can work out what's going on in his brain at shows as he is a completely different horse at home. Erin stormed the 85cm for a steady clear but had a bit of a hiccup in the 95cm, only getting to number 10..... turned out she needed a wee 🫣 Elli was mega for a clear in the 95cm despite my riding. It's so good to have her back to normal again! Video so you can all see my superstar ✨️
Yesterday we had Shannon Springford down for a training day in the sunshine 🌞 We started a little rocky as the dogs and I were questioning everything due to our competition on Saturday. Shannon sorted us out and they all smashed it in the end. Homework is noted and I now need to attack the courses more 😁

Two happy doggies enjoying the sunshine this morning 🌞
So happy to be back working properly again now that the rain has stopped! #happydog #dogwalking #dogwalker #elfequineandcanine
Misty’s almost perfect agility run from Newlands KC this weekend 😍 She tries so hard for me 🥰 Thank you Harmony for filming
It’s been a busy week despite the 🌧️ with lessons as well as training my own dogs and horses. I managed to jump the horses at home early in the week and got Erin and Leo out to Crofton Manor for an arena hire Thursday morning before the heavens opened and everything got rained off. Saturday I popped to Newlands KC show with Misty. She did 2 cracking runs and 1 not so good run 🙈😂 but no placings this time. Hoping for better weather over the next few weeks for lessons and so the ground dries up for my Easter holiday #dogagilityholiday

3 dogs trained, Erin had the farrier, Mulan's new loanee had a lesson 🥰 Elli and Leo jumped (Leo under floodlights!), yard and car park tidied and arena harrowed and rolled ready for Sunday 😵💫 Just got in and grabbing some dinner before I get the lorry ready for jumping tomorrow 💪

Very late post about Southdowns Agility Club show yesterday. I loved every course I ran 😍 No clears from my team but they were on fire 🔥
So happy with the skills Misty showed me on Sunday around some very tricky and full on courses. She had a couple of poles, faffed a couple of weave entries and did 2 very naughty A-frames 🙄 she nails them at training! We managed a 2nd in G5-7 agility (10 faults), 2nd G4-7 steeplechase (5 faults) and 3rd G4-5 agility (5 faults) 🥈🥈🥉
Titus had a blast 🚀 Cannot believe his confidence around agility. He needs more jump commitment and to stop trying to disappear into tunnels but he nailed 12 weaves, twice, in the ring 🥳🥳🥳
Caesar was a tunnel monster yesterday. He did some really cool stuff but wasn't 100% focused on me - hormonal teenager.....🙈 Thank you Iain MacDonald for having a look at him after we finished. He has pulled a muscle so on rest for a week 😢
Video of Misty's run in Iain Patz's G5-7 agility because the course was awesome and I couldn't feel my legs when I finished. It was far from perfect but so much fun to run! 💪
