"It's really important to recognise and encourage the talent of our young breeders and their showmanship skills," said Phil Halhead as he presented a personalised waistcoat to 9 year old Isabella Hartley - the winner of the young handler competition. In second place was Alastair Jackson.
A birthday win for Isabella
Isabella has competed since she was 6 and won the NWBB Under 12 handler competition two weeks previously..... a star in the making, she won her first handling competition on her first outing and has never looked back.
But having her 9th birthday on the same day made winning at the BBBC event even more special. Well done Isabella!! |
