Team penning

[mustang fan]

Does anybody do team penning? :confused:

[Jessey]

Yeah, me :D I love it, I don't know where you are but its probably different here to in the states as we have different restrictions on what we can do with the cattle.
I compete with my Arab x Tb (he turns 7 this month) and usually with my two girlfriends who have similar horses at similar ages and levels of training, we're not the quickest bunch but we like to be accurate rather than go like hell and mess it all up - this theory often gets us placed too as so many people put too much pressure on the mooks and they go every which way :D

I pen just about as often as I can get some mooks to play with so I guess only about a dozen times a year if I'm lucky.
There are quite a few people who ride western in the UK but not nearly as many as there should be ;)
We moved to a new barn at the end of last year and they have 6 cows but they are Dexters, those silly looking things with a full size body and only 1/2 size legs and they are totally mad but I'm going to have a go playing with them :D
Barachel, you really should have a go, my boy was scared to death of cows not so long ago (he really never had that bred in 'cow sense') the first time he saw the herd coming towards him he spun and bolted in the other direction :eek: but now he knows hes in charge and bosses them about no end (getting to the stage now we are having to hold him off them), and boy are they in for it if they don't listen :D
I also do cutting and working cow horse and the other day got to move a neighbours herd to a new pasture with him.
