Banff, Moray and Nairn

On Saturday we went along to our local show 15 minutes away. Caitlin helped by handling Rowan and Fergus. Although Fergus was not placed in Veteran he was 3rd to Ceilidh in the NSC terrier open. Rowan was 4th and Poppy was 2nd in NSC terrier Post Graduate. Glenn was asked to handle Pheobe in the Post Graduate class and did really well to get a 4th. In the Westie open class Glenn and Tilly got 2nd to the Best in Show winner. Caitlin handled Leo (Lhasa Apso) to 3rd place. Bella (black Lab) to 2nd place. Caitlin borrowed Leo for the Junior handling as got a well deserved 4th place from a large class.

After a long and very busy day Glenn got the chance to compete on his own merits. He won the 6-11 years junior handler. Ria did very well and was place 2nd. Well done both of you!!!

Here comes trouble!!! XD

A couple of days after Caitlin sold Crunchie she bought Honey. Honey is a 4 year old New Forest mare. She was not backed so the work began. Caitlin has now sat on Honey's back with tack. ( At last!!) sorry about the colour clash!!!

Crunchie

Caitlin got Crunchie 3 years ago. Her successes with him have been in showjumping, x-country and excelling in dressage. After a very successful summer Crunchie went to new owners not too far away. Their best win was Supreme Working Hunter Champion at Strathisla summer show 2008.

Meet the Dogs
