Klappe, die Erste und Action! Agility Zürisee Cup’15
There are competitions and competitions. The Agility Zürisee Cup (Agility Zurich-Lake Cup) is definitely the latter case. A superb event with a international potential and a bright future.
The cup takes place above Wädenswil near Zurich (CH) on a riding arena. It is on a hillside and this allows us a perfect view on the lake of Zurich and on the Gold Coast (this is how we call the rich part). But it’s not made with just the view. Two rings are outside while one other is in the riding hall. The surface is sand which is well prepared. It was so good prepared that we never had any issues with dust or hardness while having such high temperatures. The audience could sit like in a arena while watching Agility in front of a fantastic scenery.
For us competitors have been the judges and their courses the most or one of the most important things. The half of the 6 judges came from abroad. A small sensation for Switzerland. For normal it is hard to find any foreign judges. All six made some cool and demanding courses with different focus areas. All of the courses were interesting to run.
Cute and sand as surface, especially when it’s so well prepared, are in perfect harmony. My little silver-arrow have been in a top shape and attempt for each and every hurdle. I myself attempt to remember all the things I learned in the past few weeks, to bring them into the competition and to do this as correct as possible. Not an easy task, which went well each time. But I could see kind of a progress. As a little tank you for our attempts we won the Jumping of Mark Foneijn (NL). Unfortunately not a single lens captured that run 🙁
I would like to thank Regula Tschanz-Haas and Maggie Korrodi and also to any helper in the fore- and background for that great event. You all did that well!
