Marita has competed for Team GB 13 times with three different dogs, sometimes handling two dogs on the team in a single year. Her agility career began with her rescue Spitz, Harvey, who, despite starting agility at the age of two, went on to achieve significant success. Harvey earned a Championship ticket, four reserve certificates, and represented Team GB three times, in addition to competing at Crufts three times. Together, they also competed at the World Agility Open on multiple occasions, securing a gold medal in 2019.

Marita’s journey continued with her Border Collies, Duka and Cicada, with whom she achieved even further accomplishments. Duka and Cicada have both earned Agility Champion titles, and Marita claimed a bronze medal in the agility round at the Agility World Championships (AWC) as well as an individual silver medal at the European Open (EO).
