Penning
Cattle penning/sorting is a sport that the whole family can enjoy. Still Meadows Ranch
is a great place for you and your horse to learn this fast paced sport. Join us every Monday evening
at 7:00 p.m. for a little education, fun and competition. Teams will be able to run 2 sorting
and 2 penning runs for $25 per rider.
For those who would like to cattlepen, but lack a horse - contact us a day in advance and
we can have a trustworthy horse available for you.
If you lack a team...come anyways - we'll set you up with one!
