The day started with the first round of the teams, which was a Masters Agility course some 13 hours ago. This was a tough course with plenty of opportunity for going the wrong way, and unfortunately the NZ team took most of them.
Masters Snooker. The 7 point obstacle was a combination of a Jump, tunnel under the aframe, the jump again and then the aframe. Those that tried for max points all ran out of time, with Deb Jackson and Ace the best, being on the downside of the aframe when the buzzer sounded. Pete de Wit and C had a smooth, controlled run and won the event. Elaine Rohde and Flaire were 3rd, Lyn Sayers & Jenna were 4th and Deb Jackson and Ace were 5th.
Novice Snooker. Lyn Sayers really loves snooker everyone. He and Josie won this event with another quick run on maximum points.
Masters Gamblers. This has a really hard gamble where the dog had to be sent away and enter a tunnel that they could not see the entrance to, followed by a jump, a pull through, a jump, a seesaw and finally a jump spread over 40 metres. Sound tough? It was! The kiwis went pretty well on this course. Ross McBeth and Ice were the best team on the course and won!
Strategic Pairs. This is my favourite Agility game. Two dogs on the course at the same time, timing being very important. Pete & C teamed up with Debs and Ace, ran a perfect course with no mistakes and came in second. The course time was a tough 40 seconds. Only 2 teams came in under this time. A great result as they had never run together before. Karen & Tana teamed up with Fiona & Cannon to come in 5th.
The day finished with the teams jumping course. Pete has twisted his knee during the day so Fiona replaced him as C’s handler for the teams. They had a great run, being clear. Overall, we bummed out in the teams, coming in 8th out of 9 teams. Tasmania Won.
The NZ team has made its presence felt, we are the noisiest bunch here, especially at the prizing giving!
