Oh Yeah, You Blend

This was our last trial until September. Nina had been off for a while since she was in season, I think she was excited to be back! We were standard specialists this weekend, with 2/2 standard Q’s, and bars down in Jumpers. She ran wonderfully and judge Tom O’Brien remarked that Nina was “sure something”. Zhora did great yesterday, running like a real agility dog, reading my cues excellently and driving to equipment and lines very well. Her weaves are not ready for primetime, so we have a project to work on until the fall! Very happy with her!

And I just reserved my hotel room for the Invitational! OMG!

Here is handsome Lobo (Alkemi Beowulf del Roble LS) showing off his Barn Hunt ribbons after earning his Open Barn Hunt (RATO) title. Lobo and his mom Jan are awesome breed ambassadors. Lobo is even learning drafting (that’s pulling a cart, not architecture…although he could probably do that too!).
