Father Daughter Combo Compete at Golden Shears
KEEPING it in the family at the War Memorial Stadium this morning were Masterton duo Paul Sargeant and daughter Lauren, 21, who chose the Golden Shears as the place to work together for the very first time.
A qualified massage therapist, Lauren decided to be rousie as a summer job at the end of 2007 following the completion of her training. It’s now more than two years down the track and she hasn’t looked back.
Her experiences in the sheds brought her to compete in the junior woolhandling contest yesterday and she’s not planning to leave the shearing board behind anywhere in the near future.
Lauren cleared the fleeces for her father this morning as he competed in the intermediate shearing heats and brother Hayden, 18, was a Shears contestant in the novice shearing event yesterday.
