Adara's Junior Hunter title

On Saturday, July 30, the first day of the Mazomanie Hunt Test, Mary successfully ran her Welsh Springer Spaniel, Adara, in her fourth Junior Hunter leg, earning the title.

Adara has the swift, slashing hunting style that is sometimes seen in female Welshies (males are somewhat more relaxed or deliberate, it seems). Adara is great fun to watch and has a beautiful to-hand retrieve that will pay extra dividends in the steps toward her Senior Hunter title.

Here she comes.

Nicely done!
