Chris Holmes on
Jaded Potential Q-78405 - aka Tag
Some proud final words from his mentor, Kate
Elliott, sum up Chris perfectly!
Chris Holmes on
Satchmo’s Mensa Cat Q-78933
- aka Gary
‘With few gentlemen in the modern world,’ says
Kate. ‘It’s easy to be impressed by the combination
of exemplary conduct, communication, respect,
and kindness towards animals, in a young man.
Chris Holmes represents all this and more. The
selection of Chris for a Leadership Position
amongst his peers at the Youth World Cup in
the USA, in 2018, was a well-considered choice.
Recognising his desire to excel, Chris was offered
Oaks Moon Dust, to show in the Reining and
Western Riding. This eventually led to his purchase
of Satchmos Mensa Cat, to pursue the thrill and
excitement of Reining. The dream was strong and
the chase was hard. Chris excelled throughout
many challenges, and continued to develop his
precision, presentation and performances to the
outcome achieved to date.’ F
