Having bagged herself one of the 16 places in the World Sheepdog Trials grand final, will Hungarian handler Petra walk away with the trophy everyone wants?

We’ve reached the grand final of the World Sheepdog Trials in Dromore, County Down. The 240 competitors have been whittled down to just 16, who now face a supersized course on which they’ll have to move two packs of ten sheep around.

We also meet the up-and-coming young handlers who’ll be the ones to watch in future world trials as they take part in their own competition to be crowned the under-21 best handler. After placing fifteenth in the semi-final, Hungarian handler Petra is overjoyed to be one of the finalists in the main event. As Hungary’s first ever competitor, she’s also the only female in the final, and mum Judit couldn’t be prouder. Can she hold her nerve as she and Novel try to wrangle even more unruly sheep in a bid to walk away with the trophy?

Up against some of the world’s top names, including the man many refer to as the Ronaldo of the sheepdog world, there really are no certainties in this sport.
