That really hasn’t changed, and I’m at peace with that.)

Anyone remember Dunn’s sporting goods? I still have things purchased from them.

When judging a field trial the white dog has the advantage. The darker colored dogs are harder to see.

I’ve sat in the saddle for eight straight hours and judged in the rain, the cold and gale force winds, but never the snow. Don’t get much of that down here.

This is the first time for GSP's. One of the two entered, BMB's Free Ride, who is almost 11 years old, ran in the 2nd brace and washed out at :24 after a second non-productive. Ames Plantation posts all brace results on their website.
