On a roll!

Yesterday we were off to the last Rat Pack trial of the season. At this trial we sat with our friend Andrea from Serenity Canine Massage, and her Standard Schnauzers Harley and Quinte.

Kessie also had a visit from Catharine, who own's Ceilidh and Brie, Kessie's mom and brother.

The first run of the day was Steeplechase. When I took Tinky out to warm her up, she was very anxious to get out there... too anxious! I was worried that the run was going to be CrAzY, but Tink held it together and we got our 6th Steeplechase Q.

Next we had an Advanced Standard run, which Natasha was really looking forward to us Q'ing to get us closer to our title, so that when she gets her final Q in Junior Starters, she can move up too. We got another Q (our second in Advanced Standard).

The third run was Advanced Snooker (our hardest challange by far), We completed the opening and got to the weaves in the closing and Tink kind of hesitated before the entry and was called on a refusal, we got up to 27 points, so as far as snooker goes, it was a good run!

The last run was a difficult Master Jumpers run. I had made a mistake, and wasn't where I was supposed to be, and had a refusal on a tunnel. There was also a serpentine, which I haven't worked on as much as I really should have. So the was a knocked bar, and a refusal in there too, but it was nice run. And that was the only knocked bar of the day!!

We have a busy May ahead of us! 3 trial weekends, and finishing up with Tink's first showing at the Regionals!
