A huntaway 'shemozzle'

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm today

Thousands of people are set to converge on the small Rangitikei township of Hunterville tomorrow for the annual Hunterville Huntaway Festival. 

The main event of the day is the Shepherds' Shemozzle, which sees competitors complete an obstacle course with their trusty Huntaway dog by their side.

Gary Massicks is the man tasked with MC duties for the day.
