I'd like to thank the Gladwin Amateur Grouse dog club for all the work that they did to make this trial come off so successfully. Bob Wheelock, Rich Hollister, & many others made this a smooth running, fun trial.

To me, Gladwin seems like a well oiled machine running smoothly on a grand trial grounds. Also, I'd like to thank judges Christy Helm & Mark Hughes. They attentively watched over a large entry, enduring many hours in the saddle. Both were very helpful to all of us Amateurs. Great trial.

Anyone that knows me, knows that my profound hearing issues makes me the weak link for my team. And, especially this trial because my left hearing aid was blitzing out. People probably laughed watching me often walking backwards trying to triangulate my only proper working right hearing aid🤣. Anyways, almost on auto pilot, Grouse Trails Little Bud was able to pull off the RU CH win. I was really excited.

Also, Id like to thank my Scout, Eric Naus! Man that man is good! Thanks Eric!
And, I'd like to thank Purina for sponsoring this trial. Team Grouse Trails is fueled by Pro Plan.

Last thing is I'd like to congratulate the Champion, Ken Moss's Seeker. Man is that a tough dog to beat!! How many CH & RU CH does that make for Seeker? After he runs, youre usually just chasing after the RU, proven again here. Good job, Ken!
