Royal Easter Show Grooming Competition 2026 🐩✨
🥈 2nd Place – Salon Freestyle
Such a good start to the 2026 competition year! From a 4am wake-up to get everything organised, to stepping into the ring attempting a completely new style Asian Fusion which I’ve never had the chance to properly practice before, I’m so proud of how it all came together even if some parts of the groom didn't turn out how I expected.
Second time using Ted in Salon Freestyle for a competition, and although he was a little distracted with how big and busy the event was, he absolutely pulled through and did me proud. His patience and trust made all the difference, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the ring.
Massive thank you to Denisha for yet again preparing Luna for me to use in Asian Fusion. Even though we didn’t place this time, I’m so grateful for the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, learn something new, and gain experience in a completely different style it’s only up from here.
A big thank you to the judges, Simon Yu (NZ) and Bernard Ong (SGP), for your time, knowledge and for recognising the work that goes into competition grooming.
And a huge thank you to all the sponsors who support these events and our industry we couldn’t do it without you:

Already feeling motivated and excited for the next one 💪✨
