BevLive: Table Top SDT, Day Three

Sitting with handlers watching the beginning of today’s running and it was pointed out to me that I never blogged yesterday’s events. I had no idea anyone was actually keeping track.

Yesterday we ran the open ranch and the nursery twice. The running was very tough. We ran four sheep hoping they would be a bit easier to move. Not so much alas.

We had about three scores in the first nursery and open ranch. Very hard for the young dogs. Joe ran well for me benefiting from a morning draw and won the nursery. The first ranch was won by Jennifer Boznes with Ron Burkey and Shadow in second.

The second nursery was really hard for Joe as his sheep were very reluctant to go and he ended up diving into them at the first drive gate to get them going, missing the gate and nearly breaking his winning streak. Tom Wilson and Roy had a nice go with the sheep moving off Roy well to finish second in both nurseries.

The second ranch had quite a few fewer dogs as a few folks decided to scratch rather then let the aggressive sheep out face their dogs again. The second ranch was won by Mindy Bower and Griz with Ron and shadow again in second.
