Rich Robertson rides ahead of the judges and gallery to work his setter into the foothills in search of chukars. Rich has been very successful in field trialing and training bird dogs as evident of his participation in the National Championship for several years.


A closer look of Rich with his easy gaited walking horse. Rich grew up with bird dogs. His father, Richard is also an avid bird dog trainer and handler.

Rich looks to locate his dog. Rich's setters are fast moving seemingly glide over the grounds. Torben Hansen is seen behind Rich.


Very few people stayed in camp during the running of the various field events. The gallery rides behind the two judges and sometimes the gallary is divided depending on where the dog goes and which one they perfer to see run.
