Two years ago, the Young Handler (YH) class was introduced after six-year-old Daisy Farley expressed her interest in participating. Daisy had been training her mother’s dog alongside her mum and asked if she could run the dog in a test. As the only Young Handler competing that year, the tests were adapted to provide her with a fair opportunity.

Following this initial success, it was decided to make the Young Handler class a regular feature of the test season. Daisy further contributed by generously donating a trophy for the class. Now, for the second consecutive year, the Daisy Farley Trophy has been awarded to recognize the best Young Handler.
