The National Governing Body for Team Penning and Ranch Sorting!

HorseFax

The USTPA HorseFAX program offers USTPA members the opportunity to have all of their horse’s successes captured and recorded for later tabulation and reporting.  The underlying intent is to provide credible history for the actual capabilities of our high performance equine, specifically related to their performance in Team Penning and Team Sorting.

HorseFAX regional earnings will be tabulated on shows occurring in the current competition season within their region.  National Production Shows are not included in the horse’s regional earnings, nor any shows attended outside their region. 

*Regional Horse of the Year winners will be determined by the high money-earning horse in each region, based on earnings won in that region and reported through the USTPA HorseFAX program. Only horses enrolled in the USTPA HorseFAX program will be considered eligible for the award.

Sponsored by the American Quarter Horse Association, the AQHA/USTPA Horse of the Year program offers an AQHA Bronze trophy.  National and Regional Horses of the Year will be listed as an achievement on AQHA official records.  The National AQHA/USTPA Horse of the Year will continue to be selected by a panel of judges, including an AQHA representative.

The Regional Horse of the Year must participate at the AQHA/USTPA Horse of the Year competition each year at the USTPA National Finals.  Furthermore, should the high money-earning horse in a respective region not be entered at the USTPA National Finals, the title of Regional Horse of the Year will go to the next highest placing money-earning horse in that region.

As of the last information posted by the National Administration Office, the standings are current season standings.  Historical performance can be obtained from the USTPA.  Lifetime Regional performance reported through the system reflects the current regional alignment.

INTERNATIONAL HorseFax

The USTPA International HorseFAX program offers USTPA members outside of the United States the opportunity to have all of their horse’s successes captured and recorded for later tabulation and reporting.  The underlying intent is to provide credible history for the actual capabilities of our high performance equine, specifically related to their performance in Team Penning and Team Sorting.

HorseFAX International earnings will be tabulated on shows occurring in the current competition season within an owner’s country.  National Production Shows are not included in the horse’s earnings, nor any shows attended outside their country. 

International Horse of the Year winner will be determined by the high money-earning horse based on earnings won outside of the United States in a single country and reported through the USTPA HorseFAX program. All winnings will be converted to United States dollars for comparison purposes. Only horses enrolled in the USTPA HorseFAX program will be considered eligible for the award.
