Youth and adult sorting classes for cow horse enthusiasts.

Welcome!


Welcome to 3 D Open Team Sorting.

We offer  several classes including Ranch Sorting , Team Penning, Traditional Stockman, Masters, Youth and 3 Man 2 Gate in a three division format. In this format we have no need for ratings. You are allowed to ride with any rider combination regardless of experience level, age, or gender.  The whole family can compete together and still have a chance to win cash and prizes.

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:

1)  Every team entered  is put into the shuffle to make up the first go round. Once the round is completed, the teams are listed from best run to lowest run (most cows sorted  in the least time to least cows sorted in slowest time). Teams that do not sort are out.

2)  Now  if you have a three  division class divide that list by three.  The top ten teams from each division go to the second go round to compete against those other nine teams in that division. The two go rounds are cumulative.

3)  Places are paid out to the winners of each division.

  For 2024, we will have 4 producers offering 10 total shows.  You will be required to attend 5 shows during the year, riding at least 5 times at the show, to be eligible for finals and year-end awards.

Shows leading up to our Finals will be held in Poplarville, MS;   Amite, LA; Covington, LA;  Brookhaven, MS;  and Bogalusa, LA.   The Finals will be held in Amite, LA.

 

2024 YEAR END AWARDS

The top point earner in each class (3 Man 2 Gate, Traditional Stockmen, Open Ranch Sorting, Youth & Masters) will receive a Saddle.  The top overall point earner (for 3 Man 2 Gate, Traditional Stockmen & Open Ranch Sorting classes combined) will win a  cutting horse trophy.  (Show producers are ineligible for awards.)

  You can only win one saddle. If you are the high point in more than one class, you will win the saddle in the class you have the most points in. The other class will go to the next highest point earner in that class.
