Blaze with his brothers Cawley and Mirk enjoyed a herding lesson on Monday.  Mirk - formerly Murphy - shows great talent and is already several lessons ahead of his brothers, and Cawley again produced some nice efforts. We were delighted to see Blaze begin to waken up to this new game as well.

The above picture shows him circling the flock at a nice distance, clearly he isn't as willing to get up close with these woolly things as his brothers are!

All three will be taking part in the forthcoming Beardie Herding Event to be held at Pickering in a fortnight, and we look forward to meeting up with litter sisters Milly and Willow who also intend to be there.
