Top Junior Handler of the Year
The Kerfoot family, Erin, Billie and Charlie, offer the Wynmoor Juniors Challenge Trophy, a 10 inch pewter bowl. In addition, the ESSFTA offers a walnut plaque engraved with the names of past winners. These trophies are awarded to the Junior Handler who has earned the most Juniors Points showing an English Springer Spaniel during the course of one year’s competition. For permanent possession, the trophies must be won three times by the same individual. These trophies will remain in the Association’s permanent possession until retired. An embroidered towel and personalized gift card will be given as a remembrance of the award.
