Herding Rocks

This past weekend Groovy and I went herding again at Cindy Elliott's place.  For the first time *I* did good at it.  Cindy had "obstacles" out - a Y chute, some gates (using barrels), a cone, etc.  I asked Cindy to tell me where to go.  Magically once I had stuff to do it made all the difference in the world in my ability to actually herd with Groovy.  I guess it made it more like agility - I had a course and knew where to go and had to figure out the right handling moves to get there.  Whether or not that's the traditional way to learn herding I don't know but it worked for me!  :)  Here are some pics that our friend Liz McGuire took - thanks Liz!

The look of the feeling of satisfaction!
