Black Prong Larry Painter Clinic – Azula

January 14, 2023

The first week of December, we travelled to Florida to work with Larry Painter. Little miss Chunky did one run on cows, working on lifting them out of the corners, and changing the directions with me as a partner. She isn’t like Mazikeen, shes a thoughtful, deliberate girl who cares about me, and my opinions. … More Black Prong Larry Painter Clinic – Azula

November Herding Trial: Berryville, Virginia

January 13, 2023

Well, I have been talking about trialing a LONG TIME now. And, let me tell you, I found a LOT of training holes, including getting the stock off the fence. Our outrun/lift/fetch need the most work. And I, as a handler, kind of lost my crap. Lots of yelling, and shrieking. The second day, I … More November Herding Trial: Berryville, Virginia

Herding Fun Day: Fiddle

January 10, 2023

There is a reason I love this bitch so very very much… We are still working on getting our flanks wider, and moving in straight lines with the stock. Inside flanks are improving, and we are becoming more successful in working much further away from the stock. She loves to work, I feel our teamwork … More Herding Fun Day: Fiddle

January 4, 2023

Fiddle is my lovely little shining star… and we worked a lot on independent flanks and moving on the fly, and grouping the cows together as a whole. Pictures taken by Erin Eckert and Rebecca Elder

Road Trip Leg #5: Larry Painter Clinic, Mazikeen

January 4, 2023

In the first week of October we headed to Larry Painter’s house to work real sized cows. Mazie was working in the smaller pen, switching directions on the fly, and trying to get more distance out of her flanks. Erin Eckert and Rebecca Elder were there taking pictures. It hadn’t rained in such a long … More Road Trip Leg #5: Larry Painter Clinic, Mazikeen

Road Trip Post #3: Fiddle’s AHBA – HTAD Level 1

January 1, 2023

Following our High in Trial and finishing the HTAD 1 Cattle Title, we travelled to Illinois (Agility at the Farm) for a second AHBA Trial. It… was less than Successful in a lot of elements. Because we had to push on the cattle so hard, she didn’t really scale her body posture down to work … More Road Trip Post #3: Fiddle’s AHBA – HTAD Level 1

3 Week Road Trip Leg 2: Fiddle’s High in Trial

December 31, 2022

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.

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
