LEEDS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 2008
JUDGE
JULIE PRICE
It was an honour to judge this show for my third CC appointment on a gorgeous day in such a beautiful setting. I would like to thank the committee, exhibitors, friends and family for all their support.
I found that good front and rear movement together was hard to find, it was either one or the other making some placings hard.
I was very pleased with my winners and wish them all the best for the future.
