Schreeder Benefit Trial

On January 15-17, Marianna Screeder held a benefit trial for the 2010 Finals in Cowpens, South Carolina. Here is Marianna’s writeup and the results of that events:

****

Although there were challenges, the 2010 Finals Benefit Trial in Cowpens, SC, was successful and fun. A special thanks goes to Sherry and Steve Godfrey who were coping with the loss of Sherry’s father during the week of the trial and Steve’s minor surgery the week before the trial. The biggest challenge was separating the 100 ewes and their lambs every morning prior to the beginning of the trial, then taking the lambs off the trial site. On Friday, Nancy Schreeder and Jan Thompson did a thankless job in setting the Nursery classes, essentially working the cranky ewes for the first time without their lambs.

The sheep remained challenging into the weekend for the open dogs with heavy draws to the set out and exhaust. Several sheep escaped into the pond, but all were good swimmers, no casualties, only frustrated handlers and dogs. Penning was also a challenge. There was only one pen on Friday made by RC Tomlinson and Lou who won the Pro Novice class. Saturday’s penning only slightly improved as Jennifer Maginnis & Poco, Connie Brannen & Trip and Claudia Frank & Jaydee were the only teams to finish. By Sunday, the sheep were more manageable, however only 8 teams made the pen.

Herbert Holmes sorted the runs with good humor and patience. Herbert was kind enough to donate his time to judge the trial in order to provide a larger donation to the Finals. Thank you Herbert! Dwight Parker arranged for the awards of double ring dog collars with name tags for the winners. Jennifer Maginnis made a pot of chili for Saturday’s lunch, and Gayle Richardson made cakes, muffins and brownies for everyone on Saturday and Sunday.

As usual, it takes a village to run a dog trial. In this case, every handler on the running order helped out; whether it was setting out, relaying sheep up to the set out point, clerking, posting scores, checking math or providing meals. Thank you all very much! On a personal note, I would like to thank my mother, Nancy Schreeder. Without her, there would not have been a nursery class. Not to mention, I wouldn’t be in this sport without her encouragement. Thanks, Mom.

And the best news of all….we raised $2,645 for the 2010 National Sheep Finals!!!!

Regards,
Marianna Schreeder
