Tattersall Farm Sheep Dog Trial
NEBCA/USBCHA Novice Trial on September 10 & 11, 2022 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Free Admission/Donations Accepted Rain or Shine This event will feature top New England herding dogs and their handlers from Maine to New Jersey guiding sheep through a set course on the farm grounds. The sheep dog trial format: Handlers and their dogs test their partnership and skills while steering three or four sheep around a timed course that represents the demands and needs of everyday farm work. The course consists of a gather/outrun, lift, fetch, drive and pen. Each run will be judged for quality stockmanship, accuracy/most direct line and obstacle completion. The sheep will be placed 100 to 300 yards from the handler. The dog will bring the sheep to the handler and expected to guide the sheep around a course as quietly and consistently as possible. Each run will be judged. The handlers volunteer to take turns explaining what goes on during and between runs over a public address system. The handlers understand their role in promoting and educating individuals about working herding dogs and readily interact with the spectators answering their individual questions. While watching the trial and during the lunch break, spectators will be invited to explore the grounds and walk the trails at Tattersall Farm. The Farm was owned and operated by the Tattersall Family for a substantial portion of the twentieth century. The surviving family member, Mary Alice Tattersall, died in 1999, and in her will she entrusted her family’s 150-acre farm to the City of Haverhill. The Farm has been maintained in as close to its original condition as possible. The Tattersall Farm Charitable Foundation Trust is obligated to preserve the Farm, to protect its wildlife and conservation interests. Trustees are also dedicated to informing and educating the community. The Farm offers nineteenth century plantings, working hayfields, rolling meadows, and wooded paths used for walking, jogging, and cross-country skiing. Due to conservation restrictions DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY unless registered for the trials. Any questions please feel free to contact Farms Contact Page - https://www.tattersallfarm.com/contact.html |
