It was most unfortunate that the man with the cattle waggon giving up his time collecting the sheep generously loaned by A Mosey found himself completely unassissted in loading them from the exhaust pen at the end of the day. Trials and all that goes with them, good friends and neighbours, do not happen by magic. Next year Ryedale is proudly hosting the English Nationals which follow very closely after Thornton Dale Show. Bob and I feel we have thoroughly enjoyed the three years we fell in for the duties undertaken at our three local country shows, but can no longer confidently guarrentee to continue.

the bluebells are late, but so lovely...
the sheep, on the whole a lot less lovely! Never underestimate the cunning and bloody-mindness of fit swale hoggs! Real pigs! The dogs worked well all day, many defeated at each obstacle and almost all at the pen, so most never got to the split...

Penning was an achievement denied many; those that did, even out of the prizes, went away happy
especialy if followed by a descisive single!

A grey chilly day with some high wind at times; the main challange from the sheep came when they were lifted. On the course they were good, and better to pen than last week. Thank you to J Rangely the host, S Beaton, P Exelby, G Redpath and all the letting out team, Ian Murdoch for the Prattley and Rachel for doing all the paper work. Over £400 pounds was raised for charity.
