Cattle Handling Events
As done last year, extra Saturday events are planned for this season that emphasize
cattle handling skills, not speed. These activities may include
Ranch Penning and Ranch Sorting type events which allow riders more
exposure with their horses among cattle. Riders with young horses
and anyone wishing to upgrade their 'cow sense' should consider
this a great opprtunity to improve. For anyone driving a distance,
basic camping is available for you and your horse if you wish to
stay for the regular Team Penning event on the Sunday. For more
information, contact Jeff or Cathy McCann at (613) 475-4793.
Cancellations
If it looks like rain phone (613) 475-4793 after 8:30 a.m. on the
morning of the event. Local updated information will provide any cancellation details. Riders coming from a distance
are encouraged to call for up-to-date information as weather often
differs dramatically from area to area.
