What is 3 Rider Arena Sorting?

Three riders wait at one end of the arena and 10 numbered cows at the other end. Between them is a partial gate and imaginary line that triggers a timing clock. At the sound of the horn, a number is announced and the riders move the cow with that number across the timing line and then do the same for each subsequent cow in numerical order. If a cow with the wrong number crosses the line out of order or a cow that was moved across the line successfully then goes back across the line to be with the herd, the run is disqualified and no score is earned. The clock runs for 60 seconds and ends when the horn sounds again. The cattle that are successfully sorted become the score for that run. It's a fun and fast paced event, and you never know what a cow will do to get away from the riders. Successful runs are a result of skill, but also of luck and the responsiveness of the cattle.

Riders showing great teamwork!
