Deerplay Sheepdog Society Hill Trial...

WuffitMix were proud to co-sponsor and support Deerplay Sheepdog Society Hill Trial alongside Horner Shearing Equipment, for the first time in May 2021. Trials took place Thursday to Saturday with between 60 - 80 entries per day! With 6 top qualifiers from each day going through to the championships on Sunday 30th May. After attending the days, we were astounded at the quality of teamwork between dog handler and sheepdog, as the gather was very big, to the point the dog went out of sight at times! Each run was a delight to watch!
