Introducing Kath Hardman - HTM Team GBR Manager, Freestyle and HTM Team member

Kath Hardman  

Kath Hardman and her dogs have been successfully competing in Heelwork to Music since 1999.  

Heelwork To Music is a huge part of Kath’s life, she helps with the development of the sport, being a member of The Kennel Club, The KC Judges Working Party and The KC HTM Working Party along with being a founder member and Show Manager of a nationwide KC Registered HTM Club, Canine Freestyle GB which holds two weekend shows each year.

In March 2008 at CRUFTS, Kath with her Crossbreed Spice won both THE FREESTYLE FINAL and went on to represent England in THE INTERNATIONAL FREESTYLE FINAL which they also won.

In October 2010, at the Inaugural FCI World Championships held in Denmark at the World Show, Kath and her Border Collie Amber (Stillmoor Lady In Red) were proud to be selected as part of HTM Team GB, which were placed second in the championship and delighted that Amber and her were the highest scoring individuals gaining the FCI Individual HTM World Champion title.

Following this, in October 2011 and on September 2013, Kath was again selected with Spice and Amber to represent Great Britain at the Open European Championships in both Freestyle and Heelwork to Music.   In 2012 Spice was the highest placed Freestyle dog in Team GB and Amber the highest placed HTM dog in Team GB.

And now Kath is proud to have been chosen for the 4^th time with three dogs selected for the team! Amber and her youngest dog Denby in the Heelwork To Music Team. Spice in the Freestyle Team. The competition is a long way off hence why the team has chosen extra reserves as back up.

Kath is proud of her both her achievements and her wonderful dogs and really hopes that her Mum and Dad are looking down on her with pride!

Good Luck from Kath to all fellow Team mates and competitors!

Please note that the Kennel Club is not supporting this team in anyway by selection or in any other way.  However the Kennel Club of Great Britain has given permission to Louth and District Dog Club to enter a team for Great Britain.
