This was the first trial of the 2020 season. No rain this year. It was a bit chilly inside but sunny and pleasant outside. Thorson's had a mixup and double booked their facility. As a result we had to cancel our rally/obedience trials and set up porta potties and only use one of the arenas. With some clever arranging we were able to set up an exercise area in the far corner and two exercise jumps out of the way of the action.
PASA held a one ring event, with 5 classes each day. The popular "NQ" raffle was held both days. Jeff Hayes from East Bernard, Texas was our judge. His courses were fast and, especially his gambles, had some good challenges.
