Although, this is rare that the horse does not work, we want you to be satisfied and we want you to trust us and our judgment. So buy in confidence, we stand behind our horses!

Ranch Sorting is rapidly becoming the #1 Equine Family Sport. Ranch Sorting is a family-oriented, ranch-style, fun equine sport that any level of rider can compete in. Ranch sorting is an exciting timed event. A team of two riders enters the arena to sort 12 head of calves. Ten of the cattle are numbered 0 through 9, and two of the cattle are unmarked. The two riders are randomly called number and have exactly 60 seconds to numerically sort the cattle into a nearby round pen, starting with the number called. For example, if the riders hear three, they first will push the cow with the number three on its back to the round pen followed by the No. 4 cow, then the No. 5 cow, and so on until all are penned without disturbing the unmarked cattle.

Ranch sortings are held across the entire United States. The main ranch sorting association is the Ranch Sorting National Championships (RSNC), based in Colorado. To find a ranch sorting in your area, go to www.rsnc.us

Team penning is a western equine sport that is fast-paced and exciting. A team of three riders on horseback have 60 seconds (depending on the class or the sanctioning of the event) to separate three same-numbered cattle from a herd of 30, and put them into a small pen through a 10' opening, at the opposite end of the arena. A run starts once the line judge has dropped his flag as the riders cross the foul line. At that time, the announcer gives out a randomly drawn number, such as "Your number is seven". The riders then know that they must cut out the three head of cattle that are wearing the number "7" and push them to the opposite end of the arena, and put them into the pen, and call for time. Teamwork is the key.

Team pennings are held across the entire United States. The main team penning association is the United States Team Penning Association (USTPA), based out of Ft. Worth, Texas. To find a ranch sorting in your area go to www.ustpa.com
