Ingrained at 'Hunterville Huntaway Festival'

by Lorraine on 03/11/2015.

Last Saturday I had a stall at the Hunterville Huntaway Festival, I've known about the festival for a while and always wanted to go. The 'Shemozzle' was the highlight of the day, shepherds and their Huntaway dogs race cross country over 3kms of hills, mud slides, swamps, water obstacles, tunnels and other obstacles, and there was even a tasty treat to eat (bull nuts!) for the shepherd! The shepherd must have their Huntaway by their side the whole way and cross the finish line together. I had a great time, and have never seen such a fun event! It was such a beautiful day where I took lots of photos and my jewellery was well received too. I met lots of lovely farmers wifes and their children.
