lessons from herding, Luc's and mine

There is alot to learn!! my poor head.. and my poor buttocks.

Got up this morning and my butt is sore! What the heck is that from!

Oh yeah... backing up to the sheep in deep sand is a great work out for tighter buns!! Highly recommend it!

When I was in the right spot Luc did great, When I wasn't.....well the poor dog had no idea what he was suppose to do.

I have a dear friend who teaches, Louanne Twa from High River. She gave me a lesson and when she was out there with me it went much smoother for Luc. She is blessed with tons of patience. Thanks Lou!

We met at another friend's arena (10 minute drive from my place), who also teaches herding, Randy Dye in Bowden. Either one of them would be great for lessons.

Thing is I have been watching herding since 2002 and you would think I would have absorbed some of the knowledge. but oh no...

My lesson for the day was: Its really good for instructors to be students once again so we can remember how it feels to be learning. Hopefully to make us have more patience with our students.
