I started training Lili this year - she's a 4 year old section B and although she's been well handled she's not done a lot over the past year for one reason or another.
Anyway, we used to live on Anglesey, in a really quiet mostly traffic-free area so she's not seen many cars (lots of tractors though!). We've been going out on the roads to get her used to the traffic here which is a lot heavier than where we were. She's been doing really well, too.
This afternoon we were out on a tiny lane and four lads in a Golf came right up behind us, shouting and bibbing. We moved into a gateway so they could get past but they just sat there, still yelling and two were leaning out the window waving their arms at Lili. I tried to keep between her and them but I also had my baby with me in a carrier (maybe unwisely, but I didn't expect this to happen) so it was kind of difficult.
Eventually they drove on, one threw a beer can as they got past - and my little Lili never moved the whole time. She stood with her mouth all tense and her tail clamped down, but she never once tried to run. I am so proud of her!
I wish now I'd got their licence no. but never thought at the time. It was just too scary.
