2014 Tallapoosa Field Trial Club Spring Trial
The Tallapoosa Field Trial Club hosted its third and final trial for the current season on Feb. 22nd the home of Marty and Linda Robinson. We had beautiful weather for the trial and it appeared all in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There is just not many things as enjoyable as seeing the sunrise over well-manicured field trial grounds hearing the call of the early morning quail and the barking dogs that will soon be unleashed in pursuit. The scurrying about of handlers and the prancing around of a fine field trial horse gets my blood flowing lie nothing else. We are truly blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy such a great sport full of the camaraderie and each and every element making up a field trial. We are so proud to be a National Bird Hunter Club and we are so proud to be supported by such wonderful national sponsors who make all this possible. Purina Pro Plan is so important to our organizations and the feed they produce really shows itself in the performances of the dogs that get their nutrition and energy from that product. Garmin is another sponsor who provides significant support to the NBHA and I believe every dog turned loose at the trial was adorned with a Garmin tracking collar. Rounding out our national sponsors who are so important to us are Gundog Supply and Christie Enterprises.

Blount County Alabama
The Blount County NBHA trial was conducted on January 25, 2014 in Murphy Valley, AL (on Ken Tolbert’s Training Grounds). Tony Bailey was a first time Field Trial Chairman, with the help of his future wife -Teresa Green, and future Father in Law - Ken Tolbert. Tony's two teenage sons (Riley and Ryan) were the bird planters and go getters...they are two fine boys and we hope to see them running dogs in the near future. Teresa has been raising, training and field trialing birddogs for years and is also a great cook who knows how to keep a trial going. Teresa was aided by her Mother - Pat Tolbert, and they provided a great meal and especially the coconut cake.

Midwest Regional POSTPONED
Due to weather and concerns of the landowner the Midwest Regional CH has been POSTPONED until a later date. There is simply too much snow on the ground to be safe and with possible melting conditions coming this weekend the risk of damaging the grounds is too high.
