EASS Cradle/Novice Handler/Intermediate Trial
Pre-entry only: £7.50 for members of the EASS, this trial is not open to non members. Entries made after 16th September will not be accepted.
Any handler & dog wanting to run in our Cradle/Novice Handler/Intermediate Trials will need to be assessed by the EASS committee before they are able to do so.
Assessments will be run at the end of the trial and will not be judged. The assessment will follow the same format as a normal cradle trial course, comprising an approximately 150-yard outrun, a fetch gate, a 50-yard drive, and a pen. The handler may leave the post as part of the drive to walk with the dog if they wish.
The assessors will be looking to ensure the handler has control of the dog and is not a danger to livestock. They are not looking for a perfect run. Advice & guidance may be given at the end of the run, we encourage all handlers present to listen and take on board this feedback, our objective for our cradle trials is to improve the dogs and handlers!
