Nash (foreground) and Tessa wait their turn during a brief sun break at the BCA herding trials at End Gate Ranch, Ferris Texas.Nash patrols the furrow, keeping the flock on the road. On Tuesday Nash was offered a re-trial when the vehicle on the traffic exercise was erroniously parked in the middle of the road. Too fried to try again, novice-handler Gabrielle asked Carol Wolfram to handle Nash in the re-trial. The first video shows the traffic road. In the second video, Nash navigates the wide road with very deep, flooded furrows. Photos and vidoes courtesy of Jon Dundore.
