Starling Problems

Ever have those darn pesky Starlings that seem to come and take over your place?

I have just the solution....sent to from a friend.

Rent a Eagle

Problem solved.

Taff's baby pictures

Jodi sent me the puppy pictures of Taff. Jodi was the breeder of this fine litter.

Taff is the one to the left with the racing stripe on his back.

He was sold to Lisa Webb. His name was Rags. He ran in a few trials with her. He sold him to me and now Taff is part of my trial string.

Now Rags who has the new name of Taff is going to be my upcoming Open dog. He is a much loved dog at the farm. He loves to check in with me when he is running about. He is definitely my dog.

p.s. He is so fricking adorable!! How can I NOT love him!

Nan at the April 17, 2010 Open trial

Nan was on the muscle at the trial. She forgot her stop and steady back at the farm as she sure diddn't have it at the trial. She was going full bore. The hair sheep were very touchy and she was pushing them hard.

A fast fetch.

Nice turn at post.

Getting her set up for the first leg of the drive.

Since she is not listening I am thinking pf praying. It didn't work.

We missed both drive panels.

Nice Pen,

 

Nan was slicing at the shed so we didn't get that. I think we will be working on her stopping and slicing very soon!! She has been working ewes and lambs and not trial work recently. We will getting her back to trial ready soon.

DeltaBluez Roo - April 17, 2010 Open Trial

What a grand dog that Roo is!! I love this dog. He ran great for me at the trial this last weekend. He ran in Open and listened well for me and was a joy to run.

A fast and deep outrun. Deep and a nice lift. Soft on the fetch.

See how far off the stock he is and how quiet the sheep are going through the course. He was very biddable but had full control of the sheep.

Everyone is calm at the turn at the post.

Wonderful turn.

Hit the first panel dead on.

Through the ditch to the second panel. We did get the second panel but had a bit of a bobble.

Great pen

We didn't get the shed so we were out of the points but he ran great for me. I just love this dog. He ran like a champion for me. Look how happy he is after the run. Look how happy I am!!

Cowboy Dressage

Wow, I am very impressed. Look how loose his reins are and how relaxed his horse is during the performance.

Famed horseman and clinician, Eitan Beth-Halachmy, well known and respected for his unique style of horsemanship shares his Cowboy Dressage on video. Eitan is a popular horseman here in the U.S. and abroad. Just a little bit different Eitan has long combined the discipline of classical dressage and western riding to create what he has coined as Cowboy Dressage. It is not all dressage, not is it all western. It is a combination of both resulting in an artful and sincere partnership with the horse.

VIDEO

In this video segment from Eitans very popular Dances With Cows DVD Eitan and his two equine companions, his beloved Morgan Stallion, Holiday Compadre and the beautiful palomino Saddlebred Stallion, Galahads Golden Warrior perform to music at select events and in the great outdoors. True to Eitans reputation this is artistically done with beautiful scenery, music and masterful horsemanship.

Eitan teaches all over the US and abroad. Two places you can be sure to find him in 2010 are The World Equestrian Games in Lexington, KY and Light Hands Horsemanship. http://www.lighthandshorsemanship.com/
