CTCPA Sanctioned
Watch a race against the clock as the athleticism and skills of horse and rider square off against the herd instincts of cattle. This fast paced event gives a team of three riders on horseback 60 seconds to separate three specifically identified cattle from a herd of 30, and get them into a 20’ x 24’ pen at the opposite end of the arena. Teamwork is the key with all three riders working in harmony to cut out the correct cattle and drive them to the pen. The Calgary Stampede Team Cattle Penning Championships featuring teams vying for championship buckles in four different classes, each determined by the skill and experience of the competitors. A qualifying event is held over three days off Park, with the top 20 teams in each class advancing to the Calgary Stampede Championships, held in the Nutrien Western Event Center.
Proudly presented by the Calgary Stampede Western Performance Horse Committee.
