Highland FTC 2013 Spring Trial Info

The winter has been tough and long and I know from past experiences, everyone is chopping at the bit to get out and trial. The Spring 2013 Highland will be this March 16-17 at the Highland field Trial grounds in Highland Michigan.

The Highland club had a recent meeting the 2nd week in January to discuss and review our past trial season. In our discussion we looked at what worked and didn't work, review our books on money made and loss.  We also discussed judges and made a list of judges to inquire for our spring trial.

One of Highland FTC known highlights is the lunches that are put on, this year we have a company donating to the field trial cause in a big way!  The multi-million dollar company 'LIPARI" will feature meats and cheeses for your tasting, we are very excited, this will only strengthen our trial and not to mention fill us up and keep us warm.  Remember the month March can bring us warm, cold, wind, rain and snow so watch the weather and dress appropriately, also remember to bring water for your dogs and horses, in years past the water pump was either broken or turned off.

The Spring trial also brings back the rotating trophy "FOUNDERS CUP".  This cup is a rotating trophy shaped like the Stanley Cup, made out of stainless dog bowls.  This cup is presented to the 1st place performer of the Open Shooting Dog stake.   On the Cup is the names of the Founders of the Highland field trial club, also the date it was formed, the year with the dogs name on black engraved plates.

Don't forget to wear your green this weekend as it will also be St. Patrick's Day!

See you at the trial!
