Apparently I've been signed up for dog agility training next spring.
I think I'm going to be rather good at agility. See me tackle this obstacle, which forms part of a cross country circuit for horses on the Dunecht Estate.
Maybe I'm already too advanced for the dog stuff?
Although Black Beauty here didn't look so impressed when I challenged him to a jump off.
Fear of being outclassed perhaps?
Nobby, you've made a good start! We'll be following your progress in the dog agility class every hop, skip and jump along the way!

Nobby you are very springy and you have a very springy tail. Next challenge...ladders. I should warn you however, the going up is fine ...not so much the coming down again. Paw smacks Mr T
ReplyDeletehehehe we think he was jealous ;O) you are a fabulous sportsman and we would love to see you at crufts once...
ReplyDeleteNice jumping skill, Nobby!

ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby... I am inclined to think he might be a she (though one can get into hot water being too difinitive these days), and would perhaps have preferred an offer of drafting a carriage? That aside, I am well impressed with the promise you show in this wee vid clip! Keep up the good work, lad. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Nobby you are quick and nibble. And OMDs you have very long legs like a fine jumping horse. Very much explains why the black beauty might be a wee bit jealous. Also may I say well done on the immediate sit after you cleared that high wall. I predict you will be a star in the agility class.

You sure look ready for agility, Nobby. That horse seems more interested in his hay than challenging you to a jump off. BOL!
ReplyDeleteWe can foresee blue ribbons in your future. Love the vid although it was so quick I almost missed it and had to watch it twice haha. You did that beautifully and what a beautiful horse but not as Nimble as you
ReplyDeleteWe can tell you are going to be the top of your class Nobby. Lee did well in agility, her handler not so much. It was an embarrassment so was grateful when we moved away. Lee and Phod who continue to demand rest in the house.
ReplyDeleteWe think you are going to be great at agility Nobby! You're already very enthusiastic!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Sunny
You are going to rock it
ReplyDeleteOscar's friend Fred (working cocker) does agility classes with his owner Charlene. They spend a lot of time jumping and going through tunnels and over see-saws- and quite a lot of time waiting around for judges but that's another story. You go for it Nobby.
ReplyDeleteGail replies: Bertie did agility for several years, and I always found the training sessions very rewarding but the competitions less so, because of all the waiting around involved. We'll see how Nobby gets on - his tendency to be distracted by other dogs will, I suspect, prove a problem!
DeleteYeah!! Thats going to be a lot of fun, Nobby!!
ReplyDeleteAgility will be a wonderful way to get some puppy energy out and rally have fun with Gail...and we imagine there are probably a lot of treats involved too!
