[QUOTE="Keren, post: 265748, member: 3195"] Thanks for the replies, interesting to hear different ways of doing things. It's funny, cos I'm so used to leading with a nose dog, it actually feels like I've forgotten something when I'm leading them around at home without one. Actually I have been in this situation myself unfortunately. I had a little steer a few years ago who was very well behaved but had always been flighty. That particular judge was one that wore a head mike and commented to the public as he went around judging the class. Well the speakers made a crackle just before every time he spoke, and every time this happened, the steer and I shot off into the middle of the ring. It happened five times in my handlers class (turned out to be a good thing cos I got the champion) and three or four times in the hoof class (unfortunately he got marked down because of temperament). That was an interesting show! Also I had an angus heifer once that we took to a show. To make a long story short, because of johnes statuses we were unloading at a mound, not down the ramp into the yards. This heifer got away, ran twice around the racecourse, jumped the fence out of the showgrounds and ended up on a bloke's farm. We drove the truck out there to pick her up, found out they only had sheep yards, but by then she had jumped a few more fences onto the neighbours property. Two hours after we had first unloaded her, we came back to the showgrounds, unloaded down the ramp into the yards and needless to say she didn't come out of the yards until we went home! [/QUOTE]
