Blenhiem

Amy and I left unusually late to travel up to Blenhiem show held at the Shrewsbury Showground, leaving at 5:50 on a Friday evening, but I'm very pleased to say we didin't hit any traffic and arrived safely at just after 7:30, luckily Jo had arrived much earlier and had saved us a brilliant space so we were happy and relaxed.
Saturday was Mine and Ruperts 1st grade 6 classes, my first round didn't go very well, I crumbled under the pressure and ended up leaving the ring after a few jumps, Rupert was great but I kept sending him over all the wrong fences!! after that I watched a few rounds and realised that actually some of these grade 6 handlers aren't really as good as I have thought which settled me a bit and we really enjoyed the remainder of our classes, Rupert was really working well and we did some great stuff.
Summer and Amy were really flying this weekend, and managed a brilliant 4th place in the combined 4-5 agility, we got a great video showing how tight and focused she is getting, still plenty to work on over the winter but great handling by Amy bringing home a great place against some great opposition.  GREAT lol.
We had a lovely celebratory meal with Jo and Sheila on Saturday night to celebrate Zippy winning into grade 7, Rupert into grade 6 and Summer into grade 4, this time it was Jo's turn to make the cake!! it was brilliant, I think we may need to get the experts in for the next one!
