How competitions work here
Ranch Sorting
Two riders, ten numbered calves, one gate. They are moved in the order called by the judge, against the clock. One calf out of order and the round is lost.
Team Penning
Three riders separate the three calves with the called number from the herd and shut them in the pen at the other end of the arena. Sixty seconds, or less.
Membership
To compete you need a FITETREC-ANTE card with the licence suited to the class (A1 included in the basic card, A2 and A3 by exam). We arrange it for you at the ranch.
Want to host a competition or clinic here?
Floodlit covered arena, our own herd, club house and a B&B two kilometres away. The facility can also be hired for events.
