Drayton Valley Arena Trial
It started out soggy but a good trial and good friends made it all worthwhile. On Wednesday I loaded lambs to take to Lisa in Athabasca. (note to self: when loading in a downpour of rain with your husband, it is best to check and re-check numbers..oh yeah and sex of lambs..that's a story in itself) So off I went with the dogs and everything else in the back seat of the pickup and lambies in the back with lots of bedding. First stop at Jennifer & David L'Arrivee's in McBride. (still raining) Had an excellent visit, her Mom and Dad were there visiting so we all had some good laughs and a nice visit. The lambs enjoyed the break and hung out in the pasture overnight. Jennifer's house renos are awesome!! It looks great.
Loaded lambs back up and next stop Athabasca. Got spoiled at Lisa's with dinner and wine, worked dogs and next morning we both loaded up for Drayton Valley and stayed with Louanne in the Princess Castle.
Here are some pictures of the trial...we had a great time and the trial was very well run. Great gift bags for each dog entered, handlers draw for great prizes. Congratulations Jill on winning the Blu-Ray and sound system. They had a farm fair happening there too, so lots of things to see. If you ever go for dinner in Drayton, make sure it's the Three Knights Restaurant. Mmmmm
Congratulations to Carol Nelson for winning Open. Gord Lazaratto for Ranch and Jennifer L'Arrivee for Nursery.
