AGILITY COMPETITION RINGS

There will be three rings running at this event from Friday until midday on Saturday. Two of the rings will be outdoors; however, if weather is a problem, a second ring will be set up indoors so that there will be only one outdoor ring. From Saturday afternoon through Sunday, only the main indoor ring will be used.

The running surface in the rings is identical to the surface used at The Hand for the 2011 World Agility Open. The high-quality surface is a combination of mixed fibres and a high-grade industrial washed silica sand that are blended with a wax coating. The surface is rolled and well packed to provide secure and consistent footing for both handler and dog. The surface is dust free.
