kermit

here is a few pics of kermit and me. he is coming on really well and is getting better every day. he is such a cute pony but everyone thinks he is an asbo so it must just be us that love him!!!!

fair city

Well the fair city show did not live up to its name and it rained and rained and rained. what a miserable show. such a shame as it is a lovely venue in the grounds of scone palace. my favourite place . great dog walks and the river to let them have a swim in clean water. As for the agility, Buzz was fab as usual and got 2 x 2nd places in grade 6 agility. Ace got a 5th in grade 2 agility and spent most of the weekend making sure the cadets pole picking didnt get bored sitting!!!! He can be such a clumsy oaf of a dog sometime . too much in a hurry to get to the next thing that he flattens himself and throws himself at the jump. took surf round the rings and tried my best to avoid her helping the other dogs to finish the courses, she was a bit keen for a shot but is way off ready for that yet but good to know she would like to. she had a lovely swim and lots of walks with ace and my friends dogs, sally , glen , ty and benji . they had a great time. dad took some pics with his flash new toy of us all on the cross country horse jumps that are in the grounds .skc next. we will be there from the thursday as i have the scottish junior final , then gundog day, grooming and then agility.

update

We have started surf in training to be hopefully and agility dog [maybe one day] she has taken to it well and seems keen to work and learn. as with everything she is different in many ways to my other dogs so we have to find her thing to train her. she can be sensitive so happy voice is the main thing and she thrives on it. she has done most pieces of equipment now and seems happy with them. she has only had 5 lessons and is showing she had a flair for it. will post some pics

post crufts

Not done a lot since crufts apart from turn 11 on friday 13th march and yes it was unlucky because kermit managed to bronco across the paddock and throw me off quite badly. all better now and we have a new daisy rein for him so even if he charges off he cant get his head between his knees which is when all the trouble starts. he has been good since then.
Dogs wise, surf loves the new lead and harness we got her at crufts but now i know why they put themk on huskies, wow she could beat them. We have started agility with her, just little bits. she loves aframes a lot and when we went to carolines for a practise and went for a cuppy , surf was out in the garden playing one min then the next she was sitting up on top of the a frame surveying everyone. never had a dog do that before but thats surf!!! we have a small garden dog walk / aframe thing and everytime we let her out to pee she runns along it cos she wants a treat. she will be a handful that one.
did a fun show with ace and paige, paige was good - slow but her confidence is growing now so hope that will come. ace was ace and managed one clear at the end but we had to go so dont know if he got anything. not to worry the fact he was clear was fab. got my lesson tonight at the stables so will see how that goes, its really windy here today so ponies will be hyper.
