Fletch: 2, one turn tracks. S10W7F4, R5. Ground with piles of horse trailer clean out manure. Heavy food & scuff before and after manure. One gravel driveway crossing on second leg of second track.

First track had most of the manure, he ignored it and kept tracking. Second track we were interrupted by a rider coming by, which upset him. After she was gone (& we exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes), he immediately dove for a manure ball. He was MUCH more interested in the manure after his conflicted feelings about the horse vs the track. Completed the track reasonably well, made the turn nicely, and continued to be a bit distracted by the manure. Happily carried glove, ignoring even fresh warm manure in his path. Great information!

Gusto: One short track, 3 hrs old, 50%NV, 50%V, one turn on each. Pretty nice job. NV turn location was challenging, he worked the area and then clearly indicated the track. All articles good.
