RANCH SORTING
Ranch sorting is a western-style equestrian sport involving a team of two riders on horseback, riding against the clock. Working as a team, the riders cut out the correct cattle and drive them to the pen while keeping the wrong numbered cattle back. WATPA introduced Ranch Sorting in 2016.
