Epic JDM :-)

Well the Gosnells double header trial last weekend contained a bag full of highs and lows. The morning Masters Agility course was GREAT!! Epic was happy and bouncy (last week she was stress yawning on the start line, which freaked me out) Though it appears we've hit the moment of NOT completely finishing every weave pole, apparently Epic might be under the impression it's quicker if you don't do them all .... She popped out at number 10 and knocked the bar after a front cross onto the dogwalk. Though in my defense ....... Jules and Frank both did the same thing at exactly the same bar :-) So 1. I don't feel so bad and 2. We decided to start our own group for crap handling of front crosses LOL

The morning Masters Jumping course really won't be spoken about ..... it started with my inability to complete a pull-through and finished with me tripping over the tunnel!!! So that was the end of that!! LOL

The afternoon Masters Agility had two Aframes :-) and the course flowed NICELY!! Epic was a wee super star!! She hit the weave entry at full speed brilliantly (I was soooooooo excited!!! and clear up to this point) and in the back of my head I thought "make sure you work the rest of the weavers .....after what happened this morning" we got to the 11th pole and just as I looked away to focus on the jump ahead ...... I had a brief thought ....... did she just miss pole 12????? Surely NOT!!! So I kept running to complete the last few jumps. WHAT A GOOD GIRL!!! I turned around and looked at Sarah (the judge) ....... "did she just miss the last weave pole?" Sadly Sarah nodded..... ARGH ....... words can't express how excited I am for Epic doing such a good run and at the same time how gutted I am over one evil white pole :-) And whats worse is I couldn't find anyone to videotape me. So I only have the run in my head :-( can you all hear the violins playing in the background LOL

The last run of the day was Masters Jumping. This too was a nice flowing course. Epic started off well but a quarter of the way around the course became disconnected with me and headed for an off course tunnel ....... "EEEPIIICCCCC" I managed to save it, but in the process Epic shut down. She REALLY doesn't like to get things wrong. Now who'da thought it, but, we managed to go clear!!!

TITLE!!!!! :-)

There is only one more trial before I leave. So this week we're practising WEAVERS!!! LOL

And from the photo you can see how amped Epic is to do this!!

Oh and I can't forget someone VERY special :-)

HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY JESTAH!!!!!!
