First Milestone with Sting...

Last couple of days have been working Fly and True besides Sting and Quade.
Fly is going to be an easy girl to get going, much like Sting has been. With Fly
starting out much the same since I dont have a round pen and just working in a corner of the sheep pasture,taking sheep off the fence in different directions and settling back on the fence on balance.
She has a nice stop, even doing abit of work from the lift position to fetch sheep to me.She is a bit grippy when coming in tight on her flanks...but this behaviour should extinguish it's self once she feel comfortable /confident covering her stock over the next few days.
True, I really have to be patient with her as she is terribly one sided , so will take a group of sheep to a small cattle pen and set it up that she has no option but to go in both directions.
Sting and I brought the sheep out of the sheep pasture and worked them in a bigger area that isnt fenced in totally ( bale yard ) felt like we hit a nice mile stone in our training , she is SO much fun to work.
