Jilee’s Trialing History

2023 Trialing Results

New Hope ASC Presents an ASCA All Breed Sheep & Duck Trial, Plantersville, TX, January 28-29, 2023:  Wow, this turned out to be a fun and surprising trial!  Rained all day with a big front approaching, so the stock was LIGHT, and so were the dogs at times!  The Sheep were quite challenging and made me want to have practice time on them!  Miss Jilee did some really nice things, despite the rain and mud and challenging stock.  With very bad weather predicted and with a fairly low number of contestants, we combined both days into one.  So glad we did, because it was super slick and muddy just with one day of light rain.  If we had added heavy rain, thunder and lightening, the trials would have needed to stop.   For Saturdays trials, Jilee won 3 of her 4 classes with good scores.  She did the same thing for the Sunday trials as well.  She won the High in Trial Aussie and the High Combined Aussie.   What a lovely surprise for me! 

2022 Trialing Results

Heart of Texas ASC December Chill, Arcadia Ranch, Frost, TX, December 2-4, 2022: This trial pretty much lived up; to its name, very chilly and windy! Jilee did a fine job with all her stock, but we did struggle a bit with the ducks and a couple cattle runs, especially the windiest day! She won High in Trial for the AM and PM trials, all three days! Then, she also earned the High Combined for all the trials! She was super nice on her sheep, with very high scores! She earned a 123 and 124 on 2 of her sheep runs which was amazing.

Heart of Texas ASC presents The Bluebonnet Classic at Arcadia Ranch, Frost, TX, May 13-15, 2022:  We had clear weather, but it was horribly HOT!!  We all persevered, but it did take a toll on dogs and humans!  Jilee was extremely consistent again, earning two High Score awards for each trial on Saturday, as well as the High Combined for the weekend!!  She is a trooper! 

Centex Working ASA Texas Heritage Trials, Circle Back Ranch, Whitesboro, TX, April 22-24, 2022:  What a perfect weather weekend for trialing!  The wind was fairly extreme, but we had cool temps, and cloudy days!  The heavy rain came just after the trials finished on Sunday.  The stock proved to be quite challenging, but it helped show me just what I need to focus my training on next.  Jilee had a very successful 3 days, winning 13 of her 18 runs!  She took home the High Combined WTCH Belt Buckle for the weekend along with many other daily awards!  What a girl!

Centex Working ASA’s Yellow Rose Trials, Lonesome Pine Farm, Hempstead, TX, March 25-27, 2022:  Jilee was very consistent at these trials, with very challenging circumstances and stock.  Jilee earned HIT Sheep in her PATD class, HIT Ducks, High Combined for each days two trials and finally she won the Gillespie Trophy!  The Gillespie Trophy is won by the dog with the single highest score in each class of stock.  It is quite an honor to have her name on the trophy.  She makes it my 7th year one of my dogs have won that honor! 

Holiday Happening all-breed trials, Lonesome Pine Farm,  Hempstead, TX, December 31-January 2, 2022:  What a weather weekend!  I think the weather overshadowed trial results!  We had 2 days of 80 degrees and humidity, then we had terrible winds with temps down in the 20’s, wind chills in the teens!  Jilee did very well this weekend with a High in Trial Ducks on both Sat. and Sun., winning all 4 classes!  She won one Cattle class and one Sheep class as well.  I think she had fun!  What fabulous prizes Joy handed out:  A super nice leash/tie out combo that a dog can’t chew, and a handmade lanyard that I was really hoping to earn!  To top things off, Jilee won the High Combined for the 2 days of arena trials and was awarded a super useful Ryobi fan and a battery & charger!  

Bryan, Texas
National Trial & Finals, 2021

Stock were very challenging, but fun to work this year.  A good learning experience for Jilee.  She earned a 2nd place in Ducks at the National Trial.  At the National Finals, she made the cut in Sheep and Ducks, ending up with a 4th place on challenging Sheep!  I think she had a good time with the Sheep, but not so much with the Cattle this time.
