Grant Davey, of Ashley, during one of his afternoon walks with his three Gotland Pelt sheep, from left, Quentin, Viktor and Thomas. It is a reminder that they are waiting for their walk along the Ashley/Rakahuri River mountainbike trail. Grant and Valerie have been walking their sheep most days for the last 17 years. ''Walking with sheep is quite different to walking a dog,'' he says. Grant grew up on a sheep farm in Waimate and finds walking with his sheep pleasant and relaxing.
