Rodie, Crown Point Red Rodeo Ray, Riva’s grandfather on fathers side, has passed away. He lived a long and active life, over 15 years.

It’s time to face the fact that PRA is starting to affect Riva and his competition career is coming to an end.

Obedience trials really aren’t our thing with Riva but the aussie club championship trial was close so we entered just for fun. In the end we won the novice class with 184/200!

I finally got to try our sheep for the first time, Riva showed an aussie can go wide and work ram lambs that have not been herded a lot and are quite light. There’s still plenty of work for the summer training but the start was quite nice.

Riva did an excellent track today 1,56 km, aged 1,5 h, six articles and five turns and he cleared everything perfectly. The best track he has ever done.
