Kath, Spice, Tipp and Amber entertain at Mole Valley Farmers

Kath and David with all three dogs, arrived early at Mole Valley Farmers to entertain and educate at the Pet and Equine Day in their Frome Branch.


Looking very smart in their new Team Kit supplied by Joint Aid For Dogs. The Team have been giving their dogs Joint Aid for over 6 years now and it helps them keep in top condition. Nice posters around the store giving the times of Kath's demonstrations. This was her first port of call - check in with Nigel to ensure the CD's were in perfect working order. And then to the Joint Aid Stand where Nigel Timms was busy promoting the product.


And the first demonstration was well attended - here is Kath explaining a few technicalities about training the sport with Spice and Amber is looking on - hopefully learning.

Spice showing as many moves as she and Kath can complete

The audience looks on and in the centre is Oliver Townend - Three Day Eventing Champion who was also at Mole Valley entertaining the customers with his talk explaining the hard work needed to make himself into being a Top Equestrian Competitor

So how is he at Canine Freestyle? Kath asked for a volunteer and Oliver jumped the fence!

Kath explained how to teach a dog (Spice) to weave - its looking good whilst he stays stationary.

OK - add a bit of forward movement and things start to get a bit tricky!

Walking Backwards this time whilst Spice weaves his legs is a bit more difficult but many thanks to Oliver for joining in with the entertainment.

Kath then showed the customers of Mole Vally Farmers more of Spice's moves in a full routine

THE END

Thanks to Mole Valley Farmers for inviting Kath and her dogs to entertain at Frome and thank you to Joint Aid for making this possible with your support.
