LOL, how funny. He must have thought he'd found the prefect woman, one that thought it fun to go catch a cow:)

Team penning is a great sport. It doesn't take a highly trained horse, or even one with much cow sense. I team penned on my Arab more then I have on any of my Quarters. They just need to be able to be controlled, and respond quick to cues.

For the three years that Mack and I ran the local round up club we team penned every Tues night from spring till fall. It always drew a pretty good crowd. We charged $10 and you could pen all night. Charlies friend Joe from the ranch provided the cows. He was guaranteed $50, got the first $150, and any more then that he split with the club. We didn't make lots of money, but we had alot of fun, which was the main point. In the fall the first week that we didn't make the $50 we would stop it for the winter.

I think there's something like that here, too... Tiff went a couple times. She said there was no expectation that anyone really be good at it, it was all for fun.
