ABOUT US

The Birth of an Agility School (Flexible Flyers)

Mary Lou Hughes, Barbara DeMascio, and three other folks conceived Flexible Flyers Agility Group in 1991. It was Barbara and Mary Lou who came up with the name and logo.

When we first started out the Flexible Flyers training school was held at an indoor horse arena where we had to bring in, set up, and remove all our equipment every time we had classes.  We are very fortunate now, as we are able to leave our things in our training building and only move them out once a year.  Of course, we do have to rearrange obstacles for each class.

When we started our classes Barbara DeMascio became our one and only trainer.  In January 2004 Barbara left us, as she was so busy giving seminars she was becoming less available for teaching class. 

We have now added more training nights and have acquired four wonderful instructors to teach them. The making of equipment (jumps etc.) became the job and pride of Mary Lou who now has requested and received help with this from Paul Sandoe.

At this time we have, as students, several folks who started with us in our very first class.  I want them to know how grateful Flexible Flyers is to still have them and wish them as much success and fun with their current four legged friend(s)/companion(s) as they have had with their others in the past.
