Mady earns a leg!!!!!!!

Wow, what a long crazy weekend, 2 days of a herding clinic followed by the trial on the 3rd day. Really up and down rollercoaster. We did learn a lot, but it went from a negative down start on Friday and Saturday morning Saturday at noon, we had even decided to withdraw from the Trial on Sunday! 8O , However, it started to pick up Saturday afternoon... and Sunday.... Mady passed her trial and earned her first leg towards her CKC Herding Tested title!!!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

Here we are getting her FIRST ribbon!! It was so pretty! No awesomely posed pictures like Harry, Heart, or Chewie always have, just me drenched in sweat and Mady looking anywhere but the camera but who cares!! A RIBBON!!




This was me and Mady--the calm before the storm--at the start of our trial. She looks so well-behaved!!!! :wink:



There was a professional photographer taking photos, and I have over a 100 great shots from her, I'll be posting many of them this week, as well as a video of our run!

SO proud of Mady!! :hearts: :hearts: She wasn't messed up too badly by her bumbling confused dad!!

OMG! I am in awe. An OES, in a down, when there is stock in the vicinity :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :lol: :lol: :yay: :yay: :yay:

Congratulations on that first leg!!!! :high5: :high5: :high5:

Don't ever give up! She is doing great and you too!

You only get posed pictures at obedience trials and those are a stretch for Harry. Someone told me that they thought we failed because I was not the least bit excited in the ring when they read our number. BUT I cannot give him any encouragement in the ring because he only has two speeds....sleeping or going full force. I try to keep the calm in the ring.
Congratulations, you both deserve the ribbon.
Way to go mady !!! :clappurple: :clappurple: :clappurple:

Congratulations!!!!!!! :clappurple: :hearts: :clappurple: :hearts:
