North Missouri Field Trial Association hosted an NBHA trial at Martinstown, Missouri, the weekend of October 12-13. The grounds are perfect to allow a dog to open up, but needs to be biddable and hunt. A special thanks goes to Kevin and Heather Western for allowing the club the opportunity to run this trial on these grounds. The weather was hot on Saturday, and the athletes had to bring their best to finish.

A special thank you to Gary Cowell for helping drive the gallery wagon. Gary is retired now but was a fierce competitor and a sought-after judge in the Midwest when he was actively running dogs. It was great to see long-time field trialer Jim Giles there to make a few rounds in the gallery wagon. Jim has always been a helping hand and a great sounding board for us. In addition, he is a pretty good dog man, too. We were especially blessed to have our club's longest-tenured member there for a while, Mr. Charlie Beeler. Scott, Charlie's son, was gracious enough to bring Charlie over for a visit; it was a real treat. Co-chairs for this trial were Tim Penn and Kevin Western. The judicial team consisted of Dan Crunk, Jack Glover, Tim Penn, and Kevin Western. A big thanks for their dedication and attention to the job at hand. Big thanks to our NBHA sponsors, Purina Pro Plan and Gun Dog Supply, for their support. Other NBHA sponsors who support the NBHA throughout the year are Garmin, Mule Brand Clothes, OnX Hunts, and Gun Dog Central.

Thanks to all who participated and made this a great event.
