Organised by the N&SHPRFT Club and with the very generous offer of host Mark Taylor and the superb Roxby Moor, I was delighted to join James Reavil in running the clubs '“Introduction to Field Trailling” weekend organised so ably by FT Sec Denise Rackshaw and we finished today with 12 smiling handlers and 12 tired dogs. The novice ‘competitors’ experienced everything from running on this superb grouse moor across the 2 days in quite different weather conditions, completing water tests, working with shot and cold game and experiencing the mechanics of a trial. Thanks to the N&SHPRFTClub for asking me to be a part of this great idea, to Mark Taylor for his amazing support, to James Reavil for his wisdom, to ‘red flag’, to the ‘guns’ and to the 12 lovely dogs and handlers, it was a throughly enjoyable weekend. 😀 🐕 👏
