The Labrador Club of W.A. held their first Novice and Restricted stakes for the season at Brookleigh Equestrian Centre in Upper Swan. This is a challenging site for any dog and on top of this, the weather was less than perfect. Thank you to Mike McClure and Anne Cameron for working in Novice and Judy Pannett, Dean Taylor, Catherine Thorburn, Allan Bartram and Kirsty Jackson for helping in the Restricted. and to the judge for her good humour in pretty wet conditions.
