Due to an illness that Lemon picked up after the EMDAC competition, training and competitions were put on hold for a few weeks until he was fit and healthy again to compete. Well we entered the Wellingborough competition first. I am glad to say that his fitness was almost back to normal and he put in some great clear rounds, under very hot conditions. We entered the WSD/BC Open Helter Skelter event where he put in a clear round that gave him 16th place, just outside the official placings.
After a few week of very positive training we entered the Empingham DTC up in Grantham. On Saturday we had a mixed bag of results due to the everlasting thunder. Starters events were a wipe out, but in the afternoon we entered the Novice Jumping for the first time and Lemon got a clear round on a difficult course. He would have probably been placed if I hadn't fallen over just before the last fence, Whoops!!!
On Sunday the weather was far more conducive to dog agility and Lemon ran a blinding round in the Starters Jumping coming 7th overall out of 290 dogs. Fantastic jumping.
Another great competition. The madness returns.
