PROVEN CATALOG SESSION: All riding horses that complete the five maneuver test posted below on Friday 4/14. Horses are scored, it is not a competition but a sure way to prove your horse(s) to the buyers. Proven horses will begin at lot 5 of the sale, followed by more regular catalog horses.

At the close of the Proven Session, arena will be wide open to all consigned horses to rope good cattle both out of the box and out in the arena - giving sellers more opportunity to show their rope/ranch horses.

​

REGULAR CATALOG SESSION: Regular catalog session for all riding horses, broodmares, colts, etc that do not preview in the proven session. The regular catalog horses are invited to the preview on Friday to ride around while Proven Tests are running - and may show in the team rope & pen rope preview for the $50 cattle fee.
