Team penning is a western equestrian sport that evolved from the common ranch work of separating cattle into pens for branding, doctoring, or transport.<\/p>\n
Today it is a fast-paced event that gives a team of three riders on horseback from 60 to 90 seconds to separate three specifically identified cattle from a herd of 15, and put them into a 20\u2032 x 24\u2032 pen through a 10\u2032 opening, at the opposite end of the arena<\/p>\n
