Border Collie AKC Agility Trial
Our first trial back after five weeks off (and my mother’s death), so great to see my agility family again. I was worried Nina would be rusty but I was our problem this weekend!
It was an eventful trial! We arrived to find a flood in the crating area, then lots of rain Saturday followed by a freeze overnight meant everywhere was a skating rink this morning. The judge slipped and fell and hit her head in the hotel parking lot (she is apparently OK, just a scalp wound and a mild concussion), then one of my agility friends, Pam, stopped to help people in a car which had gone off the road on her way in to the trial, and slipped on the ice as soon as she got out of HER car, and broke her wrist!
Nina and I had just two Q’s, in Time 2 Beat and Jumpers today. Courses were HARD!
Thanks to Linda Dickison for taping us on her iPad since I forgot my camera! Here are today’s courses:
Jumpers for a Q and 12 points:
Standard for an NQ but a nice run (even if I did let her off the table too soon!):
2015 Nationals tally: 0/4 double Q’s, 3/20 legs, 51/500 points.
