Do Ewe Hear Me

Trial Primer for Newbies


Listen Later

Here at Do Ewe Hear Me, we're dusting off the holidays, climbing out from the straw we've been hibernating under in the barn and getting back to work!  A while ago, we recorded a primer on trials for new people.  The truth is, it was a boring episode.  So, instead of focusing on terminology, we've rerecorded it, chatting about the atmosphere, what to expect and taking you behind the scenes at these relatively small events.  

Many of these trials are small, cozy competitions on private land.  While they might be hard to find, they are a classic, fun thing to do… if you're into sitting around and watching sheep in a field! 

They are often so remote I highly recommend watching them online if you can't make it in person.  YouTube has a lot of great options, and big trials, like the Meeker Classic, will livestream.  If you'd like to see a primer on the details of a field trial, check out the freebies section on Lisa's website here.  She has a lot of great information for new people in the sport, and more offerings are coming soon! 

If you like watching,  here's another great video.  This is Glengregg Silver.  He's Lisa's dog Star's sire, Griff and Moss' grandsire, and Lisa's dog Jag's great-grandsire.  You can watch him here. 

Grab a tea, sit back and relax!
