At only three years of age, Bad River competed in the 2008 National Field Trial Championship. He laid down a powerful and sustaining three hour race punctuated by three good finds. We are very proud of his performance.

Excerpt from the Ames Plantation site:
…The final brace during the call back series was one to remember. Erin’s Tin Soldier had 1 find at about the 9 minute mark and put in one of the best all-age ground races seen on Ames Plantation in several years. Soldier was running to the extreme during his entire hour.
