*Tom was injured badly in a horse accident in Meeker, CO at the NCA Finals in mid June of this year. It is going to be a long road for Tom and his family could use some help. Tom in addition to being a top competitor on the cowdog circuit he is also a talented clinician.

Carol and Lyle Gerkin are hosting this trial at their home in Payette, Idaho. All proceeds from the trial, raffle, etc will go to help support Tom’s bills that are adding up.
We are asking for donations of any kind. I will be sending another flyer with more donation information but for now consider helping out however you can.
I know many trailers end up with extra leashes, collars, stock sticks, mugs, bags, chairs, dog dishes, crates, almost anything that you may have won at trials around the country.  If you have any of these items you would like to send for us to re-award these items let us know. The more items we come up with the less Carol and Lyle will need to purchase and more $ for Tom. If you can come to the trial great you can support by entering or helping or donating to the raffle.
We also welcome Prayers for Tom for a Swift and Full Recovery.
OPEN to ALL Herding Breeds.
