Twenty-eight stars, including Micka and Betka, participated in the exhibition ring yesterday, demonstrating a high degree of cooperation with their respective guides. The atmosphere, marked by straw and quiet focus, highlighted the efforts of the participants. The group was predominantly guided by young breeders, many of whom were aged between 14 and 17.
Notably, several of these young individuals had only been introduced to their pets three days before the competition commenced. Barbara Šimenc explained the competitive structure, noting that a specific category exists for the best young breeder, with the top four advancing to an event in Italy. She clarified that the judging criteria heavily emphasize the breeder’s proficiency in managing the animal.
The reality of the competition, however, involves significant physical challenges. One young breeder, Anja Smrdelj, recounted experiencing falls and being thrown during the rigorous process, illustrating that the path to success is demanding. Despite these difficulties, the young breeders maintained a professional focus.
Their attention remained fixed on adhering to the established rules and mastering the required handling techniques. The central element of the competition, therefore, is demonstrating how effectively the young guides can manage their animals while adhering to strict guidelines. This focus on skill and control defines the overall standard of the event.
