Herding Trial, Berryville VA November 09
I decided to let Delyla try her paw at herding and we headed out to the trial in VA this past weekend. Delyla was to try for her HCT, I really thought she would go after the woolies full force but she showed much restraint. On the first day the judge tapped her livestock paddle on the ground and Delyla thought she had done "wrong" and totally quit working for us. The second day, with a bit of help from Susan, judge and farm owner, Delyla was able to get her first leg on the HCT.
The big surprise was Miss Jessa! Marti said we could put her in with the sheep and she "turned on" almost right away. She did not chase hard but would stand, observe, and seemingly herd. Who would have guessed this laid back girl would love woolies. She kept trying to get back in the pen after her turn was over. Fortunately for her, Lady needed a little help with the sheep so Jessa was allowed to go back in and assist. Together they made a great herding team. Jessa is too young to get an HCT title but did pass her HIT, herding instinct, oh say, three times over...
I came home and started looking for a herding opportunity nearby. It looked pretty glum, nothing closer than 90 minutes. But tucked away, I found an individual less than 25 minutes from us that is going to take us on! She has a variety of stock and we are looking forward to a new learning opportunity. Will keep everyone posted!

Sydney & Alyssa
Jessa and I made a short trip to town today where she visited with several folks including my best friend and her daughters. She was great with the girls! Sydney played her recorder for her and Jess listened intently. When Sydney finished the song Jessa let out a great big howl!!! We tried to get a repeat performance for video but she just wasn't up to it.
