| With years of experience in journalism and
with horses, cattle, ranching, rodeoing, team roping, and team
penning, Phil Livingston is uniquely qualified to write this book.
He and his wife, Carol, live near Weatherford, Tx., where they keep
several horses and a few Longhorn cattle. Phil has not only
team penned, but he is a sanctioned judge with both the Southwestern
and International team penning associations, and has flagged many
high-dollar pennings. This 144-page
book, liberally illustrated with over 200 black and white
photographs, covers all aspects of team penning. Some of the
topics covered include how to get started, horses best suited for
this sport, breeds and types of cattle often used for penning, how
cattle see and react, strategies in making a run, some of the
problems encountered in penning, and how to handle them, and how to
put on a penning contest. In addition, the book includes
information on terminology used in penning, and a set of basic
rules.
Whether you are a newcomer to team penning or
an old hand, you'll find this book chock-full of useful information.
