Getting Disqualified for Hitting a Sheep: A memory of Manx sheepdog trials
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 2023-01-10

Success at sheepdog trials relies on not getting cussed sheep, but sometimes, for all the will in the world, there is no getting around that one sheep set against everything you want it to do...!

This is an extract from a full video conversation about some of the stories & characters of sheepdog trials in the Isle of Man in days gone by.
David Brew, Alan Martin and Ned Kennaugh discuss the greatest handler they ever knew, the most cussed sheep ever competed with, what makes a good sheepdog, the time the judge fell asleep and more.

This was filmed with thanks for the Manannan Sheepdog Trials. More information:
