What is teampenning?

Teampenning is a western riding sport that involves a team of three riders working together to select and move three cows from a herd into a pen within a designated time limit. Each cow has a specific number on its back that must be recognized and selected by the team.

The riders work together to separate the targeted cows from the rest of the herd and then guide them into the pen while keeping the other cows from entering. Timing, skill, and teamwork are critical in this sport.

Teampenning competitions are popular in the United States and around the world, and typically involve multiple rounds of eliminations to determine the final winners. This sport emphasizes a sense of community and camaraderie among riders and their horses and is enjoyed by riders of all levels of experience.
