At a lovely day at the NSW Herding Assoc. Trial at Erskine Park.
First up with Socks who was like 'What are those!' and the more she made the move the more she 'clicked' onto working them. With Socks go at her HT she started off with scattering the sheep but she worked well picking them all back up and then keeping them all together and moving them. Socks worked a good pace without pushing the sheep which i was happy about. Socks gained her first HT (Herding Test) pass.
Next was Kovu's turn and he was gearing to go! Firstly he sent sheep in every direction and i gave him a minute or two to figure himself out and i wasnt disappointed! Kovu pulled all the sheep back together and got the idea to keep them together, he did lose a sheep once or twice but got them back with little effort. Kovu was overly excited and worked at a fast pace, he will need to learn to slow down, his enthusiasm was a little intimidating to the sheep but still Kovu gained his first HT (Herding Test) pass.
Lastly Cynder had her go at the PT (Pre-Trial) class and got a pass and did really well! Cynder is fantastic to work with and i was very happy at how she handles the sheep.
