Team penning is a western equestrian sport that evolved from the American ranch work of separating cattle into pens for branding, doctoring, or transport.

Today it is a fast-paced and exciting event that gives a team of three riders on horseback from 60 to 90 seconds (depending on the class) to separate three same-numbered cattle from a herd of 30.

Teamwork is the key with all three riders working in harmony to cut out the correct cattle and drive them to the pen while keeping the wrong numbered cattle back.

The sport is widely promoted as the fastest growing western horse sport in the United States, Canada, and Europe. It is a sport that all family members and all ages and all genders can compete in.
