Whizz Kid
Equi-Ads England & Wales, August 2002

It was because of a challenge that I ended up with Woody a 13 week old scatty, black lurcher pup. It is said that lurchers are only good for speed and that they cannot be trained to use their brains as well as their legs. Readers will know by now that I jump to the defence of all animals so, when this was said about Woody, "I bet I can!" was my response.

Two days later a tall thin Woody was on my doorstep with a tail that wagged so fast that all you saw was a blur. He is not drop dead gorgeous, he is not even pretty but he reminds me of Jim Davidson. He is not handsome or suave but he makes me laugh and is very likeable. I am not sure Mr. Davidson will like being compared to a lurcher but they both 'speed' and Woody is a ladies man.

My husband says I have bitten off more than I can chew this time and if Woody does a display with one of the horses by September 2003 it will be a miracle. If you see me at shows looking worn out it means I have just spent the last hour or so with Woody.

I will have to cut this short as I am off to Buckingham RDA. It is their 25th Anniversary Show and they have kindly asked two of my horses and one of the dogs to join in the fun.

I do not think they are ready for Woody yet so he will stay at home and have my husband up at the crack of dawn waiting for my phone call - yes I am one of those crazy women who talk to their dogs down the phone. Please wish me all the best with Woody I'll need it.
