So...for those of you who are curious about the trials here, a bit about how all this works...
You book in at the trial and pick where you want to run. It's often very casual and there can be big gaps between runs. Many wait until the sheep are good (or so you think) before they book in. You book in usually at a caravan (RV trailer), horse trailer or car...
Everyone pulls up to the front to watch from their cars...this is our view...
The sheep are being let out and held by three young men at the top of the field with no dog (very different from North America). It's fairly entertaining actually because the sheep are very quick and not willing to cooperate. They let them out when the course director waves the flag.
The pen has no gate on it today and you can move pretty much anywhere you want.
J.R. Griffith demonstrates penning below after exceptional outwork.
There is rarely a shed in the Welsh trials, so we'll to wait for England to practice that.
Dyna is judging accordingly from the backseat of the van.
We had a great dinner tonight with John and Bet near the Caernarfon Castle.
We have met so many amazing people in Wales and will miss it terribly, especially our dear friends John and Bet. Tomorrow we trek to England.
