Team Sorting Clinic

Team Sorting is fun, it’s simple as it has very few rules and is strictly a timed event where finesse and skill in ‘reading’ cattle is more important than speed. Developed as an arena sport, Team Sorting caters for riders of all abilities from beginner to the seasoned and expert horse person all competing at their own level. A Team Sorting takes place in two pens 18m across connected together end on end with a 4m opening where they join. Two riders on horseback sort as many (maximum ten) head of numbered stock in numerical order from one pen to another in an allotted time. Working cattle with finesse in a confined arena makes the sport safe and like we said a whole lot of fun! Click here to watch an introduction video about Team Sorting! 

Weekend horse enthusiasts can learn the sport quickly. Many who have a horse and cattle background not only understand the contest, but also view it as a way to showcase their stock handling ability and horsemanship skills and pass on their knowledge freely.
