The event generated quite a nice turn out, raising money for the clubs' educational library of DVD's and providing many all breed handlers an opportunity to work their dogs on stock. The event was held out at Louanne Twa's Phantomridge Ranch, she gracious enough to both evaluate the dogs for their HIC's and judge the fun match as well. The was a good trun out with spectators as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340255351719456018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nfxtW7ug4K8/Shxl8tEd7RI/AAAAAAAAABk/adj1Ujw3isg/s320/minispectator.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A litte person captivated by the days Events&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nfxtW7ug4K8/ShxnQAROdFI/AAAAAAAAAB0/X0cDoQhCTbY/s1600-h/junior.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340256782802383954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nfxtW7ug4K8/ShxnQAROdFI/AAAAAAAAAB0/X0cDoQhCTbY/s320/junior.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Memebers were fairly successful in this even with Carolynn Shining with Junior. Discovering that woking sheep is not only fun but maybe even more when your handler isn't ready for you to advance and get in there. All in all, it was a great weekend it was especially nice to see the different breeds and watch how ther work their stock differently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nfxtW7ug4K8/ShxoBd7-ruI/AAAAAAAAAB8/o-2B0JKJZDs/s1600-h/chase.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340257632579923682" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nfxtW7ug4K8/ShxoBd7-ruI/AAAAAAAAAB8/o-2B0JKJZDs/s320/chase.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Junior waiting patiently . . . . .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;Chase. . . . nuff Said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nfxtW7ug4K8/ShxosJdR4-I/AAAAAAAAACE/W4uRuQTOv_4/s1600-h/billiechute.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340258365816824802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nfxtW7ug4K8/ShxosJdR4-I/AAAAAAAAACE/W4uRuQTOv_4/s320/billiechute.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Billie successfully navigating the Chute&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7920383887076833466-673317124475323179?l=asfofa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asfofa.blogspot.com/feeds/673317124475323179/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://asfofa.blogspot.com/2009/05/sheep-river-hic-and-fun-match-may-22nd.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7920383887076833466/posts/default/673317124475323179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7920383887076833466/posts/default/673317124475323179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asfofa.blogspot.com/2009/05/sheep-river-hic-and-fun-match-may-22nd.html' title='Sheep River HIC and Fun Match May 22nd 23rd'/><author><name>Jerry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06416198748614828811</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nfxtW7ug4K8/Sx2ObFzJF5I/AAAAAAAAANo/2m4tH3HKeOQ/S220/nochicken.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nfxtW7ug4K8/Shxl88BV2-I/AAAAAAAAABs/98fK7O01HtQ/s72-c/crowd.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
