FHRP Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Had our first session back out in the paddocks for the season today. Unfortuantely not many birds but Polo had a few nice finds and I was very pleased that I haven't forgotten everything either!! We only spent about an hour out there, it was getting too warm and not many birds but it showed how unfit we both are. Polo has pretty much crashed since coming home, usually he can go for half a day and still come home and be ready to go go go! :laugh: eta some pics :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/psfts/sets/72157629712582255/with/7033889793/ Edited April 1, 2012 by FHRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spotted Devil Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Just lovely pics FHRP! Had Em out for the first time in ages this morning.....she did a couple of quarter wagon wheel drills with a real Spring in her step (I've realised that doing 12 dummies bores her silly) and remembered the handling we had been working on before she came into season. One or two other things need tightening up again but that's training for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetchindawgs Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Rubystar, are you coming down to the trials at Arthur River at Easter, again ? Should be a nice weekend with the weather being cooler, and a little bit of rain this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Rubystar, are you coming down to the trials at Arthur River at Easter, again ? Should be a nice weekend with the weather being cooler, and a little bit of rain this week. Sadly, I won't be this year I didn't know about it until this past weekend, it crept up on me! And I'm crazy busy with work and study. I am however looking forward to a weekend away of retrieving later on as I bought a new camp mat especially for it Bit wary to sleep in my tent again though, last time when I packed it up, there was a huuuuuuuuge spider between the tent and the tarp I had on the ground under the tent! Might sleep in my car like I did the first time. Might feel less like sleeping in a coffin this time without the big bulky air mattress that brought me close to the roof! Good luck at Arthur River! Edit: if you hear of anyone in Perth who is heading down for a day and has a spare seat, I don't mind coming along to steward for a day :) Edited April 2, 2012 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I won't be going down I have too much on but will be trying to get to a few trials to watch this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Love the pics FHRP!!! I can't wait to get back out in the field but my work is being mean and making me work lots of weekends There is a huge field next to our house that has a bit of cover and rabbits living there, I love taking Zora over to hunt, she gets very animated... It's really her most fav thing in the world. Here is a pic of her on point, watching where the rabbit went off to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Mc is coming down Sunday to be Chief Steward for Mike, would be very early though to get there before vetting. Might be others going down that I don't know about. Ah what's a little bit of wildlife gonna do ? As long as it doesn't slither !!! The next weekend away is the Foundation Day weekend, and there is a house on site that you can book a room to have your mattress in if you get in early enough. Also a real shower and toilet !!

A bit of "wildlife"? Says she who sleeps in the comfort of a caravan!! :laugh: Oooh where do I book a piece of floor in this house - that has a shower and toilet?!!! Yeah would probably be a bit early I will give this weekend a miss with everything I need to do, but plan on attending more trials this year so will help out where I can :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 RV that's a great pic! I'm just impressed that she stops when there's a bunny around. Em would be off like a shot! Now what's all this about too cold, too early and creepy wildlife! That's half the adventure of retrieving trialling :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's half the adventure of retrieving trialling :laugh: Sshh TSD or we will have all of them wanting to come out and share with us. I just did a write up for a breed club here saying retrieving people had it so good because we have fresh air, beautiful countryside and just the best people in the sport ever. So who wouldn't be jealous of us ? Didn't someone once say that dawn was the best part of the day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollipop Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Does anyone know where I could buy a bird bag (on a belt to put around my waist)? I trialled in Restricted for 3 days over the weekend. No qualies but improved each day and learned a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Not sure mollipop but I'd be interested on where to get one, too :) Well done on your go in restricted! A place I can only ever dream of lol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
