Join us here on the farm in the Cotswolds as Sam, our new livestock manager, takes his first steps into the world of sheepdog training! Although he’s worked with livestock all his life, this is a whole new challenge - learning to work alongside Gwen, our clever and instinctive border collie.

Watch as Sam joins Adam Henson and gets hands-on experience with the basics of sheepdog handling: guiding the flock, understanding commands, and learning the rhythm and teamwork that make this skill so special.
