Congratulations on the success of your friend.

He needs to share some solid training tips with me for my little monster.

BTW where do you "house" the dogs when travelling and at such an event?

How do you travel for such a long drive with horses? Stop to exercise them?

I've never been to any sort of dog show or trial myself.

HE has a very nice trailer to keep the horses in .. also a specially built portion for the dog.. They have a nice area to rest, drink and eat on the way.. we stop every few hours and give the dog a break.. let him do his business and keep moving down the road..

Horses travel well .. we stop on the way and also let them water and eat.. then off again...

I had not been to a trial where the horses are used.. it was very entertaining on several fronts.. some riders are not as good as they think they are..so there is normally a wreck or three.. ... Watching the dogs work is amazing.. All the work/effort put into training them really shows.. AND, I really enjoying riding.. have been since I was 2.. Riding in the high mtn desert was very similar to riding in Montana.. sage, etc..only our soil is much more solid..

The gaited horses are like riding in a lazy boy recliner.. they glide through the sand..
