Caitlin has been lucky to qualify for the Junior Handling semi-finals every year since she started handling. As it is so far to go we promised that she would be able to take part in the semi's when she was 16. This year we went down! Guilford on the saturday for the JHA semi- fiinal and on the Sunday Fort William for a local show in total 1300 miles.

Caitlin was given a fantastic 4th place at Richmond. Then at Fort William Solo was BOB and group 4. Inka BOB and group 2. A lot of miles travelled but we all had fun.

SKC August 2010

Caitlin had a good weekend although she missed her breed class with Solo she was placed VHC in YKC on the saturday. On the sunday she borrowed an Austrailan Shepherd Dog and won the YKC class. She also had a go at the YKC biathalon, Solo did really good heel work on the lead but decided that there could be lots more fun to be had outside the ring so spent most of his time out there. Caitlin was then given a shot of a Mittel for her handling section and won it!

No dog shows

Due to the ever ending severe weather we are not risking going to planned dog shows, Ceilidh above is enjoying the snow!!

We decided that we could clip the horses this is Francis with her owner Kate.

Caitlin with the probelm pony Honey!! What a joy she is turning out to be, stood like a pro to be clipped then off round the field with Caitlin to show her clip off!! Hopefully we will be dogshowing next weekend although we hope the weather will warm up a bit as it is the auction mart in Inverurie for the show.

Honey's first hack out

Today we should have been at the first dogshow of the year. We are still having lots of snow and the road between us and Aviemore was not good yesterday so we thought we would not take the risk!! So Caitlin decided that we would all go out with the horses, I am on Saracen you can just see his ear!!

Happy New Year

We would like to wish all a Happy and exciting New Year!!!
