Sam Madamba with Sheldon Twer's horse Copper, a fine field trial easy to ride horse. Copper likes to get up front of the gallary and quick to get to a standing dog yet maintain a safe distance, as not to interfer the dog or handler.

Mazie and Torben watch the rider to the left of them. Judges determine which dog and handler to watch for the first half of the field trial duration and then switch midway so each judge has a chance to watch every dog in the trial.
