Texas Prairies and Lakes. This annual El Paso, Texas event, which leads up to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada, is fun for the whole family. Texas Big Bend Country. Please mention this listing when calling. Team penning is a family sport, with fun and entertainment for everyone.
Competitors show the best display of horse sense.
Three riders and their mounts cut three numbered cattle from a group of 30. Then they heard the cattle into a pen as fast as they can. Meanwhile they've got to keep the other cattle shy of the foul line. This sport demands a lot of coordination between the rider and their horse. Done well, it looks like a cowpuncher's ballet.
