How
to be a Mini Winner
Getting to the top of your sport is not easy. It takes more than a good dog and a good
handler to make an agility round look simple. What do the ten Olympia mini finalist have
that the rest of us lack? What turns a competitor into a winner? To find out, Mary Ann
Nester went to the Pedigree Smackos Mini Agility Stakes Final held at the Olympia
International Show Jumping Championships and spoke to the handlers, judge and sponsors.

My First Olympia
Keeping a
lid on her excitement was not easy for Paula Triggs. It was like being a kid at Christmas.

it was just another run at a local show. But who was she fooling? This was Olympia!

FInals
The
Pedigree Agility Stakes event is only really comparable with the Agility Championships at
Crufts. It is certainly the place all the agility handlers want to be the week before
Christmas – the festive and evergreen London International Horse Show. |
