Pollard Open Show

Another warm day, and another outdoor show. First time there, tiny, uneven ring, so probably our one and only time there. We put the beach tent up away from the rings, so Seren could have a bit of peace. First time for her in a crate in a tent, she doesn’t do new experiences overlyContinue reading “Pollard Open Show”

Ringside photoshoot

I was really lucky to get Jenny Evans from the JackPack to take some ring side photos of Seren at Lichfield. Whilst we always take photos, it’s not the same as getting the professional ones done.

Sedgley and Gornal Premier Open Show

A lovely show not too far down the road. Seren has had some time out of the ring and ringcraft following her season, phantom, kennel cough and a haematoma that needed treating … bit of a rough 3 months. She was unsettled at her last show so I thought a few smaller shows might helpContinue reading “Sedgley and Gornal Premier Open Show”
