Our practices are limited in riders!  40 fresh cattle each practice.  If you don’t have a partner, we have one for you!  Each practice run is :60 regardless of a dirty cow.  Our goal is to give you the maximum time on cattle without a lot of waiting around.  By taking a spot in a practice you agree to pay for your place even if you have to cancel.  This is the only way we can continue to offer practices with small groups and great cattle.

3 Divisions—Open, Amateur, Novice.

Awards to top 2 Riders in each division.  Must ride in at 6 practices to win awards. Your top 6 scores from all practices will be used for points.  Riders in the series will be ranked into the appropriate Division at the start of the series.   We will start the awards series and points tracking on September 28th.

I mean beef and chicken with all the sides. One year they grilled up a whole bunch of filet mignon! Last year was briskett and sausage. Whatever they have is gonna be good and then after dinner you can take advantage of the phenomenal sale they have going on. And they just about doubled the tack and clothing sections, recently.
