User:Jane Friend

Horses and dogs have been a major part of Jane’s life. She had her first horse as a 21st birthday present and since then Jane’s riding has varied from hacking over the Welsh hills to representing Great Britain in 100 mile endurance race in Sweden. Jane has taken up carriage driving since her marriage in 1992.

Jane has had dogs for as long and has competed with local Dog Club display and obedience, at Crufts, and at Gundog Trials and just has a wonderful time living with the dogs of her life.

An introduction to Dalmatians came through an interest to merge and develop a working partnership between the dog and the horse. Jane feels her past experience gives her a special interest in training and animal welfare in sport.

Having competed in the Carriage Dog Trials to Gold level, Jane has accepted her first invitation to judge.
