No Show Results But A Visit From Goshen!

This past week has been a “Travel” week so there are no show results to share. Patty and Melanie were in Europe and Mary judged in Kentucky.

However, Rolling Acres had Goshen Hounds visit early Saturday morning as they had a meet at the farm.  They left early in the morning to try and beat the heat of the day. Our own Kori Pickett and Addie Jabin were part of the field and Pam followed them from the barn as they hacked out the driveway to join the rest. The field left and headed out to the back of the farm and immediately picked up the scent of a fox.

This week, the crew takes off for Culpeper Finals.  We wish everyone good luck as they head into finals! Stay tuned for those results!
