If Wishes Were Horses… v.2.0

Posted on June 27, 2019June 27, 2019

FIRST PUBLISHED: JUNE 25, 2009

Although my wish for the day would have been to attend a stockdog clinic… in Pavillion, Wyoming (2.5 hours away) from Elvin Kopp (his website is here)… instead we took half our cows to our mesa pasture.  

When I first heard about the clinic, I knew the date would be iffy…   But just once…   I’d love to go to a stockdog clinic.  

By myself.   (With a dog of course!)  

I’d like myself and my dogs to improve.  

I worked Lucas in the morning… but knew he couldn’t make the entire trip.   So, I replaced him with Dally…   which puts Elsa out of sorts…   but two dogs of mine PLUS Boomer is asking for trouble.   I might have semi-control over my dogs, but put hyper barking Boomer in the mix and chaos soon reigns and I sound like a jerk, losing my temper, and yelling at my dogs.   If I can get away from Boomer and have one dog… we do pretty good.  

Of course, there’s never a witness to that… only when they misbehave.  

I had to tie Lucas to the mailbox today with my horse hobbles.  Lucas hasn’t worn a collar for a while, so bailing twine and hobbles came to my rescue.  I was sent back to get the horsetrailer after we had gathered the pasture and trailed down the road 3 miles.  

Lucas was tired and I had 2 more miles to go at a trot… so he was tied up.  Forlorn and unhappy and exhausted.  He looked awfully happy when I returned!   But someday…   I want to improve myself and my dogs… and I want to learn from a good clinician.  

So, be warned…   My wish list starts:   Stockdog Clinic
