Team GB for Freestyle
I’m
excited to be part of Team GB for the first time representing them in the OEC
Freestyle Championships.
I
live, with Tyler my red and white Border Collie, in Cheshire along with Archie
my 5-year old Pyrenean Sheepdog and the newest addition to my dog team, Rio a
5-month old chocolate and white border collie.
I have been in the sport for 6 years and focus on competing in Freestyle
with both Tyler and Archie. Like me they
both love the sport.

I started Heelwork to
Music by chance at a club I attended where I originally intended to do
obedience training and competing at Crufts.
I noticed they did Heelwork to Music classes and thought I’d have a go. I was hooked and we’ve not looked back
since. I chose Freestyle because I love combining
training my dog to do great fun moves together with the creative challenge of
choreographing a story to music.

It is amazing to
think I have gone from watching those I admire in the sport to being mentored,
encouraged and trained by them. It has
been a joy and I have enormous respect for all those in the sport who have made
me so welcome.

I am now in the
wonderful position of welcoming and training others who want to enjoy and
experience this fun sport with their dogs.
Finally, I’d like to
wish every success to all the competitors from all countries participating at
the Open European Championships in Belgium.
