Wooly Jumpers

For everyone who wanted to see the photo of the sheep racing from Knockbridge Vintage Day - here it is.
I did wonder about this from an animal welfare point of view but the sheep didn't seem distressed.
I imagine they must have been trained to race down the track and jump the small obstacles as I know from our neighbours' sheep that they would be unlikely to put up such a performance of their own accord.
I have uploaded some images to my blog:

and will be adding to a gallery on Pbase as well.

The crowd certainly seems to be enjoying it! I enjoyed the other pictures of this even on your blog too.

This is just delightful. What fun. A sheep race and obstacle course too. Wonderful timing to catch the one jumping. V.

This is quite the sight. I do hope the sheep were not too distressed by it, but perhaps not. The little teddy bears add an air of the surreal to the whole thing. V

This is wonderful! I've never seen anything like it. Do they have teddy bears on their backs? Thanks so much for posting it! V.
