Ranch Sorting

What is Ranch Sorting?

1 of 2

Ranch sorting is a western-style equestrian event where riders compete against the clock to sort cattle into pens in numerical order. It's a combination of traditional ranch work and modern competition that tests teamwork, speed, and strategy. Teams sort 10 numbered cattle (0–9) and one unnumbered cow.

Ranch sorting is accessible to riders of all levels, from beginners to experts.
