We sat down with Tabetha for a podcast to chat about her team of Border Collies. We met at the IFSS World Championships and just knew we had to share her story.
Did you know she always carries her phone with her (like everyone else!), her favorite song is Ultraviolet, by Spiritbox and she would recommend the podcast, Disturbed.
