Event Rules
Ranch Horse | Due to having the ground deep, we will be having a box, fence and rope only, no reining.
One rider will enter the arena and call for a cow. Cow will be boxed until rider feels she has control of the cow. Rider must go down the fence and make one fence turn (at least) past the center marker. After fence turns rider will take down her rope, neck the cow with a legal head catch and stop the cow. Run is complete when the rope is right and the cow faces
Scramble | Sort 3, doctor 1, team rope 2
Sort: 1 team member rides in the herd and sorts 3 head (tag numbers will be given). The other 3 members will hold the gate. Cattle will be penned. Can only rope if the 3 designated cattle are sorted into the arena. If extras get through the gate they must be put back in the herd before ropes can come down. 3 minute time limit
Penalties:
- 10 seconds for each extra cow that goes through the gate
DQ’s:
- Excessive roughness on cattle. ZERO TOLERANCE. JUDGE HAS THE RIGHT TO DQ AT ANY TIME.
- Failing to sort 3 designated cattle in 3 minutes
