12.01.2022 Mr David Hines dog trialler and musician extraordinaire entertaining the crowd at dinner!

12.01.2022 Here is an example of some good handling by woman and dog. The sheep are moved to a perfect position in front of the gap. If the dog was left to continue it pro...bably would have pushed them past the obstacle. The dog was told to lie down which settled the sheep and gave them time to find the gap. To send the dog around the sheep would have spooked them. However a minimun amount of pressure was all that was required to move them through the gap. A cool head and a well trained dog did the job.

06.01.2022 Day Three of the trails is where excitement builds . There's the Open and Improver Trials and of course- the finals!

Trophies and prizes presented in the afternoon.
