About AHTPA
An Equestrian Sport for the whole family.
At Adelaide Hills Team Penning Association, we’re all about fun and competitive horse riding.
Our aim is to always have a great time whenever we ride, educating and teaching new members, while still providing a competition for those more skilled.
See how you can become part of Team Penning and join us at our events.
What is Team Penning?
3 is the key.
3 on a Team, 3 cattle penned.
​
Team Penning is all about teamwork: 3 riders move down the arena to a mob of collared cattle, they must then try and move only their 3 cattle to a holding yard at the opposite end in under the allocated time. Points are awarded on time and number of cattle yarded. If you like horse riding and want to work cattle then this is the sport for you!
Check out when the next event is on and come see for yourself.

Training days are regularly held so watch this space for the next one.
Rules
If you want to brush up on our rules and regulations feel free to browse our member handbook and club constitution. If you're new to the club, we also cover the main rules in the morning on the day of competition, and our committee members and competitors are always happy to lend some advice or a hand if you need any help of clarification.
At the start of each season all members must sign a waiver. This is linked below if you need to print a copy.
