Trial is in conjunction with the San Antonio Highland Games. This is the only Celtic Highland Games around that hosts an actual sheepdog trial and not just a demo. People from allover San Antonio and the surrounding areas will come to watch. We get about 1000 spectators coming through the stands each day. All paid handlers will receive a wrist band to get them complimentary entry to the fairgrounds. Our handlers, sponsors, and volunteers will also enjoy complimentary lunch and beverages.
