It has been a long time since Lily and Poppy have been doing agility training with Jaqui in the field near Longside.  Winter weather, wind and slippery ground are not the conditions for outdoor agility.   I wondered how they would get on after the long break from the autumn.

I needn’t have worried.   They got back into it right away, with gusto!  Lily showed young Poppy how to do it, at Lily’s unique sedate pace.   Poppy threw herself into it, leaping high over the jumps and scampering up the A fame.

The seesaw, which spooked her a bit last year seemed no trouble at all and it was a joy to see her little body zooming through the material of the cloth tunnel and emerging, delighted with herself.   Lily even managed the twelve pole weave, never her favourite piece of equipment.

All this in the lovely setting of the little field just outside the village.   We are all looking forward to next week.

Bend it like Lily
