Description
Bill turned 4 in March of 2024. Bridget imported him as a 1 1/2 yr old started dog. His father Don won the Scottish Nursery final and has gone on to be a major force in the international sheepdog trials with his owner Mosse Magnusson. Bill is a great listener and tries hard to help Bridget in whatever task I am doing.
Bridget lives on a family ranch in Carbondale, Colorado. She got involved in sheepdog trialing by volunteering to help at the Meeker Classic. That apparently led to Bridget and her family have hosted the USBCHA National Finals four years at the Strang Ranch – a major effort and terrific event. Bridget successfully competes in both sheepdog competition and various horse competitions, including eventing and cutting. Bridging loves all aspects of ranching and, in addition to the horses you see grazing at the Strang Ranch, it has also become home to a small flock of sheep that Bridget describes as a “4H project gone wild.” The Ranch provides lamb to a few local restaurants.While seemingly immersed in sheepdogs and sheepdog trials, Bridget is a horse trainer by trade and teaching others to ride and compete. She has been on the farm and around horses her whole life, eventing at the advanced level for several years and showing cutting horses at the Western States Championship.
