Working trials workshop

I'm going to a working trials workshop tomorrow and i will be taking one of the westies, it's on for 4 hours.

We already do OB, agility and HTM for fun, so a taster of working trials shall be interesting.

Zara would have loved it, but she cant really go because of her arthritis.... 4 hours would have been to long for her.

I'm planning on taking the camera.

Is this with Yvonne?

Ah no I see it is with somebody else, not heard of them.

I judged a WHWT several years ago it was fab, it could not manage the long jump though.

The workshop was great, trainers were very friendly and informative.

I will happily go to another one of their workshops.

They loved Maisy lol
I think they were shocked at how well she could do the tasks.

Well they should not be, all sorts of breeds compete in Working Trials successfully including terriers!

Glad you enjoyed it.
