Hawk wins hour horseback stake and amateur stake at Di-Lane and Elle won first in the Open Puppy.

The last weekend in February found us down at the historic Di-Lane plantation for another American Field / AKC dual sanctioned horseback trial. Jamie Fountain of Oconee Kennels ran Hawk in the 1 hour Open Restricted (Grand) Shooting Dog Stake. Hawk put down an outstanding race and garnered three finds, his last was a well dug up find on a covey of wild quail. I ran Hawk in the amateur horseback shooting dog stake and he again took the top spot with 3 finds and a back. Hawk is on a roll, since Thanksgiving he has had five 1st place wins, 2 seconds and a third.

Elle ran an excellent race in the Open (horseback) puppy. She topped the field and got the blue ribbon. Her littermate Tug got his first field trial placement with a fourth place in the Open Puppy. Four of Katie's pups from that litter now have horseback placements.
