After months of training the day of the test had finally arrived.  We left at 3.45 am to collect our bike rider - Leeanne and make it to base camp, the Kingaroy Showgrounds, in plenty of time.  The test is conducted over 20 kms, at 10 kph, which means that Curry has to extended trot the entire way to maintain the speed.  I took her in the willingness test - this test consists of the heal forward, a stay and a small recall, this is to ensure that the dog is willing to work and manageable.  Then on the bike for 8 klms.  Followed by a vet check.                   

Another 6 kms circuit, vet check, 6 kms circuit, final vet check and willingness test.  DONE!!!!

I believe that makes Curry the first female stafford in Qld to enjoy her ET title.

Special thanks to our bike rider, all those people that help with advice in fitness and diet, and to the pit crew, Maria and Samantha.
