I will do my trial wrap up soon and post videos. Here is the wrap-up from Sue MacDonald. Thanks to George and Sue for hosting a wonderful trial.
##################################################################
All I can say is WOW! Lot's of first today, but I'll get to that soon!
First thank you to our judge Ian Caldicott, doing a great job. And to ALL the folks that did set out and scribed and a special thank you to Jeanne Boudrieau for helping me sort out the score sheets! Without ALL of you, we couldn't host these trials FOR you. As usual, you finished off all the lunch stuff, good job! Kathleen Torkelson, thanks for the extra sweeties you brought. They were absolutely delicious!
Weather was perfect this morning, got a little damp, but not bad in the afternoon. Some highlights of the day, last team out in open, won the day, congratulations to Donna Donahue and Kate. Congratulations to Jeanne Boudrieau and Moses for their win in Pro Novice! Woo Hoo!
Congratulations to Sue MacDonald and Avie for winning the nursery class and to Bonnie Block and Bob for their 3rd place in nursery, their first ever trip on a big course! Nice job!
AND to Jane Hickman and Rachel and Heidi Hanson for their 1st and 2nd places in ranch. Great job, both of you! And since we are still talking about first's, congratulations to Kathleen Torkelson and Josh on their big win in novice.
So on to the placings of the day.
Open course was pretty straight forward, left hand drive, but with a small twist on the last leg of the drive. There was a Y chute placed half way between the last drive gate and the shed ring, The chute was to be taken as a pen and had to be completed before you could move on to the shed ring. Three sheep were run, so a single was done at the end.
100 points possible and 20 teams to the post, 7 1/2 minutes to do it in.
