HISTORY OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION
Note: This is the information that was
compiled and we apologize if we failed to mention the people contributed to the
startup of the Rocky Mtn Region.
Colorado was originally a part of the
West Texas Region then
split off to become its own region in 1992. Early NSTRA archives shows a few
single trials were held near Magoffin, Colorado as early as February 18 1984,
the record also show very few trials were also held on September 23 and 24 of
1989 near Strasburg, Colorado. In the birth stage of the region, members
such as Rex Christiansen and Tracy Haines chaired these early trials in the mid
80's. Consequently Colorado Gundogs Association, a walking field trail
club was formed to approach the pointing dog fanciers in the front
range and help boosting memberships, from the efforts of Bert Oborne along with
Alida Ruiz the club started to gain visibility among the field trial competitors . During
that time Tom McBartlett of Arizona attended some of these early trials, in the
early 90 Tom relocated to Colorado and petitioned national office to endorse
Colorado as a separate region with the agreement if 10 trials could be held in
Colorado in the following year. Tommy helped put on a judging seminar also
judged each of the 10 trials. by March 22, 1992 the tenth trial was
accomplished in
Colorado, in result , the Rocky Mountain Region was formed.
