CORRIGIN WA YARD TRIAL. 13-9-2014
Details kindly supplied by Nan Lloyd..
This was only the second ever yard trial to be held at the Corrigin show but the first time it was run as an
official event. Corrogin is a small town 220 Kms SE of Perth in the eastern Wheatbelt.
The sheep were young merino ewes that were fairly solid and required shifting, especially into the second
gather. Some of the young dogs had a battle here, and the sheep quickly worked out which dogs were a
bit lacking. Overall however they were good challenging sheep, and worked fairly well. The weather was
lovely, sunny and almost a little too warm at times. Due to time constraints the novice and open event was
run together, so all entrants only had one run for both events. Both events and the open final were judged
by Andrew Gorton, with Rod Forsyth judging the Novice final. Only the first 4 placegetters in the novice had
a finals run.Corrigan Results. Novice . 1st. Simon Leaning. Marionvale Mindy. 77+69=146. Kelpie; 2nd.

DOWERIN WA ARENA. (UNOFFICIAL) August 27th, 28th.
Details kindly supplied by Nan Lloyd.
Dowerin arena trial is an unofficial event, run in conjunction with the Dowerin Machinery Field days, which is
the biggest machinery field day in West Australia. Dowerin is 160km North east of Perth.
The sheep were young and fairly freshly shorn. They were tricky, unpredictable and inconsistent. They split
easily and took a while to break in. The trial was run on a supreme course which was new to some people.
Instead of settling them in front of the handler at the casting peg they had to be brought around behind the
peg before the handler could move off. This caused some difficulty as they had the tendency to break back
the other way as soon as the dog was pulled off the head to bring them around. The gap was the first
obstacle and this was the hardest as it was often the first real point of contact with the sheep. Most people
took a while here, but once the sheep settled and this obstacle was worked the sheep usually settled for
the rest of the course. Due to time restraints (a 2 day trial) a 30 point ringoff was used but with the ruling
that if you completed the bridge ( 3rd out of 4 obstacles) then the ringoff was stopped and you had a go
at penning them.
The field day environment did not help matters, helicopters, old time machinery noisily driving up and
down, and a ploughing demonstration upwind of the trial ground. All this unsettled the sheep, dogs and
handlers.
The weather was uncomfortably warm on the first day but a little cooler on Thursday. No finals were run.
There were 35 entries in the novice with 7 scores, 33 in the improver with 8 scores and 41 in the open with
16 scores.
As it was an unoficial event, there was some changing around of judges throughout the trial.

MINNAWARRA YARD TRIAL. August 23-24th.
Details kindly supplied by Nan Lloyd
Minnawarra is the property of Hayden and Shelby Harries. This is the first time a trial has been held here.
Minnawarra is 40 km east of Boyup Brook in WA’s South West. The sheep were large full wool mixed
age Merino ewes that were stubborn, solid and difficult to work. They had little respect for man or beast
and were hard to pull up if they decided to break. The hoodoo obstacle was the second big gather into the
draft, which took the sheep away from the direction of the letouts, and they simply didn’t want to go in there.
So they just stood there with a ‘make me’ attitude. In the novice, quite a few handlers had to assist their
dogs here. Once in the draft they just stuck to the back fence and would not flow through, so once again
assistance was required. However once five were drafted off for the truck they then became very jumpy in
the small pen and had to be carefully handled.
The next morning for the open event they were a little better and part way through the open final they settled
and started to flow and scores rose accordingly. They were good challenging sheep for a yard event and
3
generally stuck together well and stayed inside the fences. The new course was nicely set out and worked
well.
The novice event was a tie and so a run off was held which resulted in another tie and another run off.
There were 21 entries in the novice and 27 in the open. The weather was lovely, warmish and sunny with
an occasional chilly wind.
