Born from real ranch work and sharpened into fast, strategic competition, these sports showcase timing, teamwork, and a horse that loves to read a cow. Here’s how they work—and how to ride them smarter.
Sorting cattle for doctoring, branding, or shipping is daily ranch business. Over time those skills turned into timed events—same fundamentals, just in a controlled arena with clear rules and a clock.
Work one cow at a walk/trot. Hold distance on the shoulder; practice yielding the forehand/hind to keep the cow off the gate line.
Two riders practice “peel and seal”: one peels the correct cow, the other floats at the opening, closes only when the line is clean.
Run short sets rotating cutter/turn-back/gate so everyone reads cattle and communicates the same way.
Do I need a “cow-bred” horse? It helps, but a responsive, brave, well-broke horse can learn the job. Start slow.
What’s the fastest way to improve? Fewer hero runs, more clean runs. Control first, speed later.
How many runs should I do in a day? Quality over quantity. Watch your horse’s recovery, legs, and attitude.
