The weekend is over so......

How come I feel like I have been run over by a truck?

Wow...trials are a lot of work.  I needed to use the dog's Tuff N'Up on my feet instead of their paws after walking so many miles.  I think everything went pretty darn smoothly.  We have such a great group of people.  And, party.....yep....we all like to party and have a good time.  Party till the grave.

A few favorite pics...most I already posted on Facebook.  More later when I have the time.  This was the FIRST USBCHA sheep trial the Antelope Valley Stockdog Club has put on.  The weather was kind to us and I think everyone had a pretty good time.

Cheryl Necochea and her imported Maid (waiting in the blind)

Terry offered me his colt, Joker to ride.  I told him I do horses better than dogs.  I was almost born in a saddle.  It had been awhile since I saddled up, so it was a ton of fun for me.  I was so glad that Yoko only heeled the sheep, not my horse.  He was still a bit green.

Get a long lil doggies!

This is my girlfriend, Melodie at the post. Ty is bringing the sheep around the post receiving a well deserved first place on Saturday in the Novice class.  He was second on Sunday.  No kidding, this dog only works sheep maybe a handful of times a year and he always works them like a pro.  He was a rescue.  Mel knows his bloodlines.  I think I need a dog from his lines  LOL

Terry bringing the sheep back to the set-out.  Cherries were still available for the pickin' in the local orchards.  That was nice.  And, there is nothing like fresh picked cherries!

We used a stock trailer instead of the pen on Sunday.  

This is a picture of Dr. Bob and his dog Spike.  If there is a most improved award, I think Dr. Bob and Spike are the winners.  AWESOME to watch!

Early Saturday morning.  The one and only Kyle Henisey was our set-out person.  He does a fantabulous job.  When I awakened Saturday morning to see what we needed down there it looked like a Scottish festical....trailers in place, canopy up, sheep, dogs.  You have to love a guy that has his act together.

Best pic of the trial.  

8 yr. old Reagan waiting for the stock to be set at the post with her dog, Doc.

She is a great handler with great dogs.  We all will be in wheelchairs coming to her when she is older giving stock dog clinics. :0)

T.K. doing what he does best....giving orders  LOL

Kathy and dogs and my hubby, working hard (hanging over the fence)
