Experienced horse trainer and field trialer Meredith Mays joins me to discuss the art of scouting in American Field/UKC and AKC field trials. Meredith provides insight on a scout's responsibilities, the characteristics that make a good scout, and what makes a dog challenging to scout for. Meredith is passionate about encouraging people new to field trials and making the sport enjoyable for everyone.   If you'd like to reach out to Meredith, find her on Facebook.    The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is sponsored by OnX Hunt and Boss Shotshells.
