Cutting/Penning questions

What kind of bit are you using on your penner?

First month im not going to lie I rode him in a chain link snaffle. I have him in just a smooth loose ring snaffle now.

For your cutter,have you ever considered 2 man ranch sorting?you work more like a cutter and you don't have to go into the herd as fast.

Every Friday we go 2 man sorting at an arena down the road from ours. That's where im teaching him to step to a cow. Sorting is becoming huge and im really hoping that one day penning will be a thing of the past and sorting will be more popular up here in Alberta. I know its already like that down in the states. I personally like sorting WAY more than penning.

Me tooo.and 2 man is growing more each day.

That makes me happy!

Last year I won more money sorting than penning and only rode in 3 sorting shows

Really? How fast are your times and on how many head?

Theres 10 in a heard and an average run time is 40-50 seconds up here

We use 11 or 12 head here,the extras being trash cows,and that's our average time here.but at 1 aqha show,i used my top horse in the open and got a 10 header in 36.4.my daughter even said it was luck.

Wow. We are doing 10 in 27-35.
