Table Talk – February 28, 2018

SMOnlineTableTalk1-500x524

If any of you have paid for a full hook-up spot at the Louisville cluster and you are not going, please give a shout out to Cindy Smith or Nina Fetter via instant message on Facebook. The lot with electric hookups is sold out, but there is still space in the overflow lot.
I understand Ralph Lemcke has retired from judging, with his last assignment being at the Indianapolis shows (his home town) the weekend before Westminster. Ralph was always a true gentleman to show to and he will be sincerely missed in the center of the ring. Best wishes for a future of health and happiness my friend.

Train Like an Athlete – Success in the Juniors Ring

05

Twenty minutes of focused training (on stacking, baiting, or gaiting, etc.) will be a far better use of time and will make training more sustainable. It will also serve to dramatically increase your handling proficiency. Additionally, it will be much easier to keep your ring partner interested and focused with shorter sessions.

Ch. Pequest Feel the Burn

By Amy Fernandez Among other things, Westminster 2018 was a nice antidote to those dire predictions about the future of this sport.
