  • My EO Journey - Part 3 - Competition Day

    So Friday was here – Team day. We all met at the stable block for 6:30am and then went to watch the courses being built, this was at 7am and already the heat was already intense. Once the course had been built we got to watch the “white dog” run the course. This was great to watch, then in our pre-organised groups (depending on running order) we awaited our time slot to walk the course. We had 8 minutes to walk the course. I had a strategy to course walking that I had been working on throughout the year and so stuck to my plan.

    If you’ve been reading my blogs you will have been keeping up to date with the work Jade and I have been doing, as well as some of the preparations we have been partaking in to get us ready for the European Open in Austria. Here is my final blog – the trip, the highs and lows and my experiences.

    Well I decided after my 3 part Development Squad journey I would give you a 2 part blog on my EO journey. Now that’s something I never thought I’d get to type or even say out loud.

    After Squad Day 1 and the blog post I wrote, I’ve decided to write a second blog post following up from Squad Day 2. These are some of my first blog posts and I’ve found they’re great for reflection. After Squad Day 1 I had a little more insight into how the format of these days, meaning I didn’t feel quite so nervous as I did for the first time around.

    Upon reflection of my first squad day I have found myself thinking of how far we’ve come. Jade, my first collie has taken us from grade 1 to 7 and after the performance weekend in 2017 we were asked to join the GB Development Squad and now the 2018 GB Agility Squad.
