What a great show season 2022 was for Ohio Valley Team Penning Association (OVTPA)... and we are looking forward to 2023! Lots of fun times, memories and good riding. OVTPA is so fortunate for wonderful sponsors and supporters! What great prizes were given away during the shows! Buckles, coolers, chairs, tack cases, grooming products, totes, treats to name a few. Oh Yeah, how about some cash! Don’t forget the cash! The OVTPA board of directors and promoters work hard to put together a wonderful day of ranch sorting at every show!

The annual year-end awards banquet will be held Jan. 14 at the Holiday Inn in Boardman, Ohio. Get ready for some great awards! The awards committee has been hard at work to bring some perfect prizes for the members of OVTPA! Lots of fun in store for this evening with yummy food, awesome raffle prizes, games, dancing and fun! It will be a celebration you won’t want to miss! Can’t wait to see everyone there. Watch for pictures and results in the upcoming issue of the Horsemen’s Corral.

OVTPA is planning for the 33rd year of the great sport of ranch sorting! Everyone is welcome, there is something for all levels of riders, don’t be shy! The draw ride system will pick you a partner which is a great way to meet friends and sort some cows. The dates will be announced shortly for the 2023 show schedule. Mark your calendars!

OVTPA shares fun times with all of our members, many families enjoy the family friendly atmosphere! Youth classes for riders 18 and under, Western Heritage class to sort cows without cantering, rated riders’ classes, and more. The OVTPA 2023 showbill is in the works!
