| With several cattle pennings around the Maritimes one of the clubs here on the Island has decided to go with sortings this year...
I have to agree with alot of the pros that were mentioned...
- easier on the cattle, smaller area for them to run and also less cattle are used
- cheaper to run on a team thus allowing a rider to go on more teams
- things seem to move a little quicker, maybe less setting up?
- really tests the abilities of your horse to get under itself and work cows in a smaller area
Anyhoo I think it is going to be a neifty venture and I hope it proves successful. We will be hosting a penning and a sorting this year so I guess we'll see how many folks are willing to try something new. | |

| All the new stuff is always such a lonnnnnnnggggg drive! But it sounds like fun!
The new barn we're moving to has a small herd next door that are frequently loose along with 3 lamas :shock: so we may get some cow experience that way...lol | |

| We have done quite a few sortings; by done, I mean ridden in, lol. I love them, gets good finesse control of the horse, and was a great, intimate atmosphere to hang out in when not actually sorting. It really sharpens up front end control, and your communication skills with your partner. | |
