So, the second leg of our road trip brought us up to Flying Bucket Farm, in Hemlock, NY. This was a cattle only trial, and we did an AHBA HTAD Level 1 – cattle run. It was a tough course, as only two people qualified. We ended up winning High in Trial, finishing our Level … More 3 Week Road Trip Leg 2: Fiddle’s High in Trial
This is one of her very first clinics, working cattle on a long line with Diane Sobel Meyer. We were very much working on calm, control and poise.
Once again, we travelled to the Flying Bucket Farm for an amazing clinic with Diane Sobel Meyer. Lots of thinking
I did some work with Ukulele a bit at this clinic. Pretty happy with boosting her confidence and taking commands. She has a really great ability to turn and flank, and is very respectful to moving stock. We are hoping to do a bit more pen work with her
This was a… much newer approach to handling for me. We have been working extremely hard on control, balance, and focus. Getting stops and square flanks. This was an exercise in controlled driving, understanding when to let go, and when to hold on, when to pressure, and how to move cows in a calm, controlled … More Diane Sobel Meyer Clinic – July 2022 – Upstate New York

It went much better than the clinic sessions… However, I decided we weren’t quite ready for the trial at the end of the month, and I dropped my arena runs in favor of the AHBA JHD in goats. This isn’t … More Day 3 – 100 Days of Dog Training

I have notes that I wrote, so it is merely about updating them. Today, I just worked Fiddle. She had her first … More Day 2 – 100 Days of Dog Training – Cathy Hartley Clinic Day 2
I participated in a clinic at Bear Run Farm with Cathy Hartley on November 2-3. Today (November 2)’s participants are Fiddle and Ukulele. Uke kicked off the day in the round pen. Showing some pretty good instinct and work ethic. Then, on her second run of the day, we put her into a mixed flock … More Day 1- 100 Days of Dog Training
Fiddle has been doing herding training on and off for her entire life. I have been doing a lot of training with Bear Run Farm as of late (with the amazing Cathy Hartley) , and she decided to take the plunge into trying cattle in a smaller space. Needless to say, I was pretty … More Our First Time on Cows
