'Come Bye' resumed on Sunday 24th February, please check your Sky TV programmer as the first programme of the week is either 8.30pm or 9.00pm, with repeats shown at various times all week. The Irish, English and Scottish Nationals have already been shown and now it is the turn of the Welsh National and then the International. 

 Accommodation page updated  

If you have enjoyed Sky TV's coverage of the Nationals, please write to say so, or email the Horse & Country Channel at info@horseandcountry.tv, to show that the programmes are popular and provide support for filming of the Nationals and International again this year. There has been a break for a few weeks, apparently because Robin Page has been ill. We wish him a speedy recovery.

2008 World Sheepdog Trials & International websites added to Links page 

Sky TV's Horse & Country Channel (280) is airing their footage of last year's Nationals and the International over a fifteen week period that started Sunday 9th December at 20.30. Each week shows a day from each National, covering all three days, and so far the Irish National and the English National have been shown. The programmes are repeated during the week at various times. It is worth buying a sky box just to view these programmes. In addition, the channel occasionally airs old programmes of One Man and His Dog. This is welcomed support for sheepdog trialling on television, with an emphasis on the old style of programming, introduced by Robin Page.
