World Sheepdog Trials (pic heavy)

Yesterday (Sunday) was the final day of the WST. An event held every three years and this time, lucky for me, in West Wales.

Dinefwr Park, Llandeilo was the venue. Sorry I can't identify all the competitors in the photos, hopefully some of you will recognise faces.

Stuart Davidson with Jim (Scotland)












Karin Mattsson with Sammie (Norway). Highest placed female competitor (7th)







One of the Welsh team. Had a great run until the pen.











The Finnish Team







The winner, Aled Owen with Roy (Wales). On the right, 2nd place Ron Snoeck (Netherlands) Sorry, he seems to be missing. Left, 3rd place Stuart Davidson (Scotland)







Wales also won the team event

Lovely pictures - especially the last! I'd love to watch a trial sometime.

Great pics! Thank you

Thanks for the photos Pod. We won a sheepdog photo competition and got a free pass for the 4 days, but with pups, babies and sheep sales, it was too difficult for us to get away. I was giving away the ticket to the first Dogsey member to come forward ... no one did! If I had known you were going, you could have had it!

Ah sorry you missed it Moobli... and livid I missed your offer. I would have gone the whole four days

Thanks for the comments. It was a brilliant day, can't wait for the next world trials in Wales.... next decade or two

Lovely
as a kid I used to hate 'one man and his dog' now I could watch it all day
those dogs are just amazing

Brilliant photos wish I could have been there

Brilliant photos - thanks for sharing!
