A. I would love to, I can only hold you a spot with payment received. We are only taking 20 entries per age group. They are selling fast. PLEASE Pre Pay. https://venmo.com/Rochelle-Rondy
This will also help us have payback, prizes, and cattle numbers figured out ahead of time

Q. What is Speed Trail?
A. You will open a swinging gate, jump over a log, pull a rope tied to a log, run around a barrel, then out and shut the gate.
Q. I’ve never done this kind of thing before, can I compete?
A. Let’s do this together! We all support each other. Everyone that has called me has not done everyone of these events either.
Q.Will there be a dress code?
A. Boots are mandatory. We will be taking a lot of pictures, wear what you think looks best.
Q. Is sorting and penning one (1) woman?
A.Yes it is. For sorting -a number is called, you have to keep your good calf in that pen, sort as many wrong number cattle across the line as you can. If your good calf crosses the hole line, you are disqualified.
Penning- Number is called, you get that one number out, put it in a pen that is against the wall at the other end of the arena. 60 second time clock on each event.
Q. Are Coggins required?
A. Yes, All event participants at Cooke County Cowboy Church require a proof of coggins. If you have already shown them at an event there, you are good to go.
I hope this helps. Keep the questions coming. We love to hear from you. We are super excited to do something different. And GIRLS, you are going to LOVE the Western Themed prizes!

A. Let’s do this together! We all support each other. Everyone that has called me has not done everyone of these events either.
Q.Will there be a dress code?
A. Boots are mandatory. We will be taking a lot of pictures, wear what you think looks best.
Q. Is sorting and penning one (1) woman?
A.Yes it is. For sorting -a number is called, you have to keep your good calf in that pen, sort as many wrong number cattle across the line as you can. If your good calf crosses the hole line, you are disqualified.
Penning- Number is called, you get that one number out, put it in a pen that is against the wall at the other end of the arena. 60 second time clock on each event.
Q. Are Coggins required?
A. Yes, All event participants at Cooke County Cowboy Church require a proof of coggins. If you have already shown them at an event there, you are good to go.
I hope this helps. Keep the questions coming. We love to hear from you. We are super excited to do something different. And GIRLS, you are going to LOVE the Western Themed prizes!

This year’s clinic will be held Friday through Sunday, August 9-11, 2024.

We will once again have 3 3-hour sessions per class (that’s 9 hours of work per class). The Groundwork class will be from 9am – 12pm each of the 3 days, and the Riding class will be from 1:30pm – 4:30pm each of the 3 days.

Bring your own lunch, plenty of water, and SUNSCREEN! We will likely be working a bit outside, weather permitting.

Each class (Groundwork or Riding) is $450.00 for all three days, or $800.00 total to do both classes.

We require a deposit of $225.00 requested to hold your space PER CLASS, or a $400.00 deposit if you are signing up for both.

Dry camping will be $20.00 for the weekend (suggested donation) – there is a bathroom on site but no shower, however there IS a 2 bedroom apartment available for rent if a few of you wanted to band together and rent that out (it has a queen and a bunk bed, but Keri said there’s not really a cap on bodies so air mattresses are welcome! https://www.airbnb.com/hosting/listings/editor/48871402/details/custom-link
