So this weekend we had CPE trials. Reddi was only in on Saturday for two classes. She did level 3 jackpot and level 4 fullhouse. she Q'dwith 1st's in both of her classes;-)

Bounce was in every class over weekend. Shane tried to run her for the first time in colors but she left the ring to look for me. I shouldnt have left the startline but she was so into him I figured it would be ok, so I went over to exit gate, when he got her "online" that was when she turned back to look for me and then panicked when I wasnt there. oops. We'll keep working on him running her:-)She Q'd in jumpers w/ a 2nd or 3rd I think it was, got first and Q in fullhouse level 3, and on Sunday she got 1st and Q in std. level 3 and got a 3rd in snooker level 3.:-)

We didnt practice articles cause it was a long weekend and she deserved to stretch out and RELAX after trials:-)We have yet to do them today but short breaks are good;-)

Great Weekend

We went to VT. this weekend for agility trials..CPE agility. Bounce is in level three. She just started CPE last weekend, but I could put her in level three to start because she has open/ex titles in another venue. Anyhoo, weather was not cooperative, got thru one class Saturday then skies turned dark and it opened up..thunder, lightening and POURING rain...the trial STOPPED..we all went into our vehicles..sat there for probably 30 minutes..then they decided they had to finish this class they'd started outside, but then we could move into the barn/arena as the stable manager offered it to the club, phew!! So that was a project for this club to get all the equipment moved up a big hill into arena and build the ring in the arena mid trial...everyone was helpful, it added time to the long day but well worth it in the end as it never got better weatherwise on Saturday. Sunday we stayed in arena, phew, but weather WAS nice!!

Bounce was in 8 classes, Q'd and placed in all of them! Some 1st's, some 2nd's, and some 3rd's. She even decided in one class to "kick it up a notch" and try to run like Reddi for me cause she knew I was sorta missing her...so she ran a 40 second SCT course CLEAN in 19.2 seconds!!! Bounce!!! STOP drinking Reddi's magic water!!! lol. It was a gorgeous site, facility, and backdrop of green mountains bordered on one side by a large river. I'll definitely go back to this site for trials, it was a nice spot...a bit of a drive...2.5-3hrs....but worth it for an away trial weekend:-)

3 out of 4 Today!

Today we went back to trials. The kids Q'd 3 out of 4 runs. It was a good day and great weekend going 9 out of 10 Q's!! And all placements with five 1st's :-) I decided to figure out redheads YPS from a course we ran this weekend...turned out to be 7.13 YPS w/ contacts....no wonder she freaks me out running her!!!rotflol. Some people joked we could have run the course almost three times given her time and the SCT, lol.

The red flying walenda is now off on a herding vacation for two weeks. I miss her already, I hope she enjoys her rural "farm dog for 2 weeks" vacation:-)It's going to be VERY quiet at home these next two weeks...Bounce might not know what to do with herself with her fun sponge sis' on vacation, giggles. I'm not going to know what to do myself without her!

Bounce didnt have any Utility training this weekend given the agility trials and super duper long days there. Tomorrow we will pick it back up after a good nights rest.

6 For 6 Today!!

We went to CPE trials today. It was a super looong day. Left the house at 6:30 am and got home just before 9pm!! YAWNZZZ.
Anyhoo, Reddi was in 4 classes today and Bounce was entered in 2 classes. We had 6 Q's! Yippee;-)I was bummed to realize today after having walked level 3 snooker that when I went to check-in Ms. Bean she wasn't on the gate sheets...then it hit me..I didn't enter her IN snooker today!! ARGHS!! I only had her in 2 classes and snooker wasn't one of them! I was all set to go and had a good 'Bounce plan' for snooker and then hmph..we didnt get to run it! What a maroon I am! With those 6 Q's they also got four 1st's, a 2nd, and a 3rd placement;-) Reddi left all bars UP, nailed contacts and was quite entertaining to watch...we had one course, wildcard, with an SCT of 64 seconds..redhead blasted thru it in 23.08 seconds....can we say whoooosh?!?!?! Video to follow;-) Right now we're all beat and need sleep to go back and do it again tomorrow!;-)And also making the day great-er my kiddo arrived home safe & sound from his big Disney vacation! He had an absolute blast with his grammy!
