Flynn:
we went across the Pennines to Sandbach on Saturday so I could practice my big boy stuff in the ring at UKA, mum was worried there would be weaves...and there were, I've not sussed them yet and I was very giddy indeed in the ring ha ha!! Clipped 4 poles (first time running standard height) and a runby in weaves, but got round and got lovely big red rosie for 1st place (there was only me in it but don't tell anyone lol!) It was actually quite a sunny day for a change, but the venue had been moved cos the ground was waterlogged...at least it wasn't canceled though :-)


Mum was knackered helping on ring all day so we came home in the afternoon for something to eat and drink... we were going to go back next day for more but my tomboy mate Jette had done 2 lovely jumping runs for mum and Willow was getting stiff and wanted to come out to play, so we came back for walkies (which I really don't see the point of!!!) Jette might be in Steeplechase Novice now but who knows (or understands UKA rules and points)!!! I had lovely time watching over Willow and Jette (my chicks) while mum was away on the ring, don't worry mum they are fine with me!!
Gill had some lovely runs with Ruger, he's going to be fab.... and Rosie was lovely for Sue, as always :-)
....I'm listening mum honest.... tee hee!!

The weekend before we'd been over to Dovestones and I was a complete hero and helped rescued some lambs from a mad beagle who was chasing them up and down those hills, we helped the ranger get them back with their mums...but best was the lone sheep who came to collect them in the midst of all the racey-chasing, and took them back to their bleating mums...the beagle was long gone by this time as someone had body-dived him to the floor to stop him....norty Archie, bet you're in big-beagle-bother matey!!!

We've not got anything for absolutely weeks now...mum says we can practice those sticky-uppy-things....

Here's Mr Flynn going jumpies courtesy photos2remember
