Agility in Iowa

This weekend we went to trial in Muscatine, IA... it was the club's 1st trial and it was on dirt -- ended up being a great trial and I would definitely go again. It was nice because there was a small group of us from our area who went and we really had a lot of fun -- everyone was able to see each other's runs (since it was 1 ring) and the crowd really got into it... lots of cheering and "oooh"s and "aaah"s -- was entertaining!

Unfortunately, I had 2 downers to the weekend... Saturday Rumor took a horrible spill going over the triple in his Standard run and he was quite sore for a while. Luckily, he seemed ok on Sunday so we were able to run again. The 2nd bad incident was poor Whitney Rupp hurt her knee again, which sucks. She was having a great weekend (fun with the dogs and always entertaining!) and then she had to leave Sun morning with an injury. Hopefully, she will have a very speedy recovery!

Saturday:
Dylan wasn't feeling his weaves at all on Saturday... he had nice runs, but refusals at the weaves both runs.
Rumor had a nice Jumpers run except he didn't get the weaves... and then his Standard run was going absolutely beautifully until he had his nasty crash :(

Sunday:
I didn't help Rumor at all in JWW... I was so stuck just looking at him to make sure he was sound I didn't give him any info throughout the course. By Standard I felt more comfortable that he was fine and he had a lovely run... he got his 2nd ExcA Q!
Dylan ended up our weekend with a Q in ExcB Std -- not bad for D Dylan
