Ranch Sorting is a competitive equestrian sport where riders work in teams to separate cattle from a herd. The goal is to sort specific cattle into a pen within a set time limit. Each team typically consists of two riders who must communicate effectively to complete the task efficiently. In a typical Ranch Sorting event, cattle are numbered, and the team must sort them in numerical order. Riders use their horses to maneuver around the herd, guiding the cattle while avoiding any that are not part of the sorting task. This sport emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and horsemanship skills.
