Firstly thank you to Jenny for agreeing to judge and Anni Martin for overseeing the paperwork, both did an excellent job.

This was purposely a small trial to see if the hall was suitable for running trials. We had 5 brave souls entered and despite a few heart stopping moments all managed to qualify.

First place Rick Burgess with Max
Second place Kate Kemp with Paddy Tied on marks Kate and Paddy were 45 seconds slower
Third place Lynne Mitchell and Rowan very nicely handled.
Fourth place Amie Pendarves and Bonnie, Bonnie worked exceptionally, well just a few nerves on Amie’s part.
Fifth place Emma Lee and Merlin, Merlin worked well and Emma’s handling was lovely.

Judges comments to everyone

“Watched some lovely sympathetic handling and good teamwork, thank you to Anni for shepherding competitors, writing the certificates and keeping the score sheets in order.”
