Annual Review

Well last year was a bit of a wash out, lots of shows cancelled due to the awful weather meaning we only managed to get to a handful of shows, however in hindsight we were quite pleased to have a more relaxing summer, I think sometimes we took it all a bit seriously, so we have decided to not do as many from now on.

My goal with Rupert was consistency, although I know Jo had other ideas and it seemed so did Rupert flying us into grade 6! so for 2013 I'm going to relax and work specifically on my handling and Ruperts jumping technique, so that hopefully we can get more clears.

Maisy hasn't done much and at 9 years old I have decided to put her in veterans and anysize, she isn't struggling at all with the height but I'd rather do it now than wait till she gets injured. she is still as mad as ever, so hopefully she may even get a few places.

Amy and Summer have had a great year, Summer still isn't the most driven dog but her tight turns gained her many top 5 places in grade 3 so we decided to put her into grade 4 at the end of the season and hope that the more tricky courses are more her thing.

2013 will hopefully see Amy with a new puppy, she has expressed an intrest in a couple of exciting litters so look out for some news on that front later in the year.
