Playdays are days where for 20 a dog we turn you loose with a set of sheep and you work on whatever you want to work on. We have anything from big pastures down to a round pen. For 40 a dog I will give you a lesson with your dog or work your dog for you. These are normally the last Saturday of each month when the weather is good.

We may do a nursery trial or two near the end of the USBCHA qualifying year but nothing set in stone yet.

Hey everyone! We have sheep lined up for the February trial (Feb 3-6) and are excited to start getting everything planned out. The sheep will be polypay ewes leased from Yancy Paul. I’ll try to start getting things up on the page soon.

Here are the results of day two of our novice trial! Thanks everyone for coming out and a big thanks to Matt Pulfer for judging and Tim and Donna Walker for bringing their grill and fixing the burgers and all the help with the food. Thanks to Heather Rabalais for coming out a few days before and helping me get the pens set up and everything ready for the trial. Also thanks to Blake Byrum for doing the set out both days in the rain. I’ll get info up soon on the next events we’ll be hosting (playdays! Faansie clinic! And the next trial)

Bard Ranch Novice Trial info:
Handler’s meeting at 8:45, first dog on the course at 9. We will break for lunch each day, burgers will be provided, bring a side dish and drinks. We will probably eat in the garage at my house. Rain is possible so bring rain gear.

I’ll need some volunteers for scribes.

I’d like to get a count on number of people bringing campers. I think we can park everyone in the small patch next to the trial field but it’s possible there may be a bit of overflow. This google map link will take you to the entrance of that little patch. The trial will take place in the 12 acre field south of there.

The playday has the option of working on your own or me (Nicole Rhodes Rhodes' Stockdogs - Working BorderCollies) giving a lesson/working your dog. It’s 20 a dog on your own and 40 for me to help you. Everything from round pen to huge field to work in.

The sheepdog trial will be TSDA sanctioned and will have Open Ranch, Nursery, Ranch, and Novice. Nursery will be co sanctioned with USBCHA. It will be held on one of our smaller fields on our commercial hair sheep.

Faansie needs no introduction. This will be our fifth time hosting him, I do believe. Contact me to reserve your spot. We will only have eight working spots available.
Edit: we are down to one working spot available.
