Blackthorne Trial

This past weekend was our Fall trial at Blackthorne and I have to say I think Smartie rocked it all. She cleaned up and took home ribbons from 7 events out of 11. Not bad at all. She also received her Starters Snooker title and is now in the Advanced level of Snooker. She ran beautifully all weekend and really is jumping nicely. She was so close to her Standard title but dropped the last bar. Smartie and Henry came in second and Q'd in pairs and immediately following that run Smartie had to run again as an accommodating dog and came in first and got her partner a Q! Go Smartie.

Congrats to Meg with Sailor and Susette with Marea on their A.D. titles and Standard titles.

Tom, Hailey and Ella picked up some Q's too and had some really nice runs. I have to say this is the first trial ever Tom ran under control all 11 runs. No sightseeing- his eyes were all on me.

Jerry ran twice (four obstacles each time) and if you blinked you missed it. He had a great time and so did I. He is so stinking fast and will be hard to beat one day when his brain catches up with his body!

Congrats to Tom and Jerry's brothers War and Rukh who picked up their ADTCH titles. Maybe one day ( a long time from now) we might get an ADTCH- and also only after I figure out what all those initials stand for! :)

Thanks to Donna and Brian Young and Y Agility for putting on a great trial as always!
