Ilminster Rally

[Joy]

I'm in Somerset with Molly for a 2 day Rally event. We are now competing in levels 5 & 6 (the highest levels) and they are proving, shall we say, challenging! Today we unfortunately NQed in Level 6 but did get a qualifying score of 182 in Level 5. Another day tomorrow and we are hoping for one more qualifier to give us our L5 title. I think L6 might just be too difficult - we'll see.
We're staying in a caravan at the foot of Ham Hill and here's Molly posing with her certificate (we didn't win a rosette).

Great to see your post, I was only thinking of you both yesterday and wondering if you had any more competitions this year.

Best of luck for the qualifier today

Sadly we didn't qualify at L5 today - frustrating as only 5 marks short. I waited to see what the L6 course consisted of but it was clearly going to be beyond us so I withdrew. I think it might be time for Molly to gracefully retire with her RL4Ex title. (I've started to think about other activities she might enjoy, perhaps scent work ...) Next year I hope to compete at some live Rally shows with Tess.

It must sadden you to think of Molly retiring but as you rightly say , there are other maybe less strenuous activities for her , good luck Joy xx

perhaps scent work

I have just started doing this with Cass, it's great and I'm really enjoying it. In fact wondering what took me so long to get around to doing so! I think all the dogs love it.

It's good to know your limits, you and Molly have done do well. And you have more in your string coming through!
