Our very grateful thanks must go to our new young handler, Ubaid Achmat Moerat, who, at his first Welsh Show, was outstanding. Thank you Ubaid.

Again our thanks must go to Margie Cairns who is always so willing to help at our Nationals and without whom life would be so difficult. Thank you, Margie.

And finally, to Tomasz Jakubowski (Jacko) who at the last minute stepped in to help show the fillies when Glynis hurt her foot. Thank you Jacko.
