October 18, 2025 We had an absolutely gorgeous day for our Fall IGP trial even though it kicked off with a chilly 37-degree morning at the tracking field. Every dog passed the tracking and obedience phases, but protection was a bit trickier for some teams. I have a great deal to be thankful for, so please allow me a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation. Much thanks to Josh Huck for his top-notch work laying the IFH2 and IGP3 tracks and for being a safe and reliable helper. Many thanks to Shelby for coming out early to lay the IFH2 cross track. And a big shoutout to Nathaniel Roque for his fair judging and super helpful critiques, making the event club and competitor-friendly. I personally want to thank all the competitors who make my life as a trial secretary so much easier by sending in complete and accurate entries and showing up on time for tracking and at the trial field. Being punctual and prepared really helps everything run smoothly for everyone involved. We extend our deepest gratitude to our club members, volunteers, and competitors who jumped in to help on trial day. Your unwavering support, diligence, and commitment ensured the seamless execution of our event. Special thanks to those who dedicated countless hours in preparing the tracking and trial property, providing competitors with a safe and consistent trialing environment. Deciding to shake things up we introduced a fresh style for our awards, plus some cool gifts for our judge and helper. Jennifer stepped up and had awesome custom metal leash racks made, complete with our club logo cut out with a plasma cutter. They were a total hit! Big shoutout to our amazing trophy sponsors for stepping up in such a big way! Your generous contributions have been nothing short of a game-changer, seriously helping us keep costs down while giving this event the shine it deserves.

Sincerely, Terry FIsk President and Trial Secretary March 15, 2025 15th anniversary trial The Western Horizons Working Dog Club celebrated its 15th anniversary IGP trial on Saturday, March 15th. We were honored to have Andrea Duggan as the judge for the trial, which was fitting as she had judged one of the club's first trials. We were pleased to welcome Barbara Bordas as she shadowed Andrea as part of her requirement to enter the USCA judges’ program. Despite facing cold and windy conditions, eight “HOT” dog and handler teams demonstrated their dedication and resilience by achieving a 100% pass rate. The inclement weather did not deter these teams from giving their all.
