Old Bird Training

[Roland]

Just saw the words of wisdom from 'border terrier lofts'!

Sad to say TRUTH will again be ignore come mid winter break and voting regards race programs.

This wonder of the air ARE birds, not machines! Time to take care of them NOW and in the close season with our power of votes... and don't say 'I would ... but it's the others!! You are the others to the others.

I have my birds Loft fit. But birds must be also mentally fit before training commences. The TWO be must in one accord before being sent up the road.

 

I hear one say 'Best I lose them now in stead of feeding etc. Taking time and effort and money going up the road then lose them' Some truth there of course. BUT have you done them proud and gave them every chance to prove them selves? Or lose a few each step till what left is WHAT is left!

I ask you.

My yearlings having never been in a basket but go first race - or 5th race and perform well. True only once, one a winner. Often top 6 etc. though. Not race fit, but mentally and physically fit etc. to be sent! Ok I may lose a small percentage true ... BUT I'd wager far less losses than most lose. Flying with zest around the loft. fighting each other at the drop of the hat so to speak -- Fighting fit. These are ready mentally and physically fit and ready to train.

Would I, will I train before May? Why?
