at Chandler arena, and also enjoy the lovely trails on
the Peninsula.
On behalf of the competing riders and coaches, we

   Local Youth Rider Turning Heads In The
            Ranch Sorting World
by Sean Martin
When you think of the South Bay, you may think
of multi-million-dollar homes, surfing, biking
down the strand, and cruising down Pacific Coast
Highway through the beach cities. Most people
would not think of the sport of ranch sorting.
But there is a group of cowboys and cowgirls that
practice and compete and keep the sport alive in
the South Bay.
The Cinch Ranch Sorting National Championship
(RSNC) was founded in 2007 and currently has
over 23,000 members. RSNC’s goal is to preserve
parts of the ranching lifestyle while providing a
family oriented, competitive riding experience at
the grassroots level. Each year has slowly seen
the growth of RSNC and the popularity of ranch
sorting. This year at the RSNC World Finals we
saw over 6500 teams compete for over $676,000
in cash and prizes awarded to participants.
Ranch sorting evolved from everyday ranch work
when cattle had to be sorted out and separated for Piper Edwards doing pole-bending. All photos taken

in two pens put together, with an opening in
between the two pens. A team consists of two
riders and each herd of cattle will have ten head
of cattle that are numbered zero through nine and
usually there will be one or two extra cattle in the
herd that are not numbered.
The team will be stationed in one pen and the
herd in the other pen. When the announcer calls
out “Flags Up,” the team will cross the opening
in between the two pens. Once the nose of the
first horse crosses that opening the flagger/judge
will drop his/her flag signaling the start of the
run, time will start, and the first number will be
called. The team must sort out the number called
and continue in numerical order. Sorting out of
sequence will result in a disqualification. A team
will have sixty seconds to sort as many cows as
they can. The goal is to sort all ten cows in under
that time limit.
In RSNC, riders are rated 1-9 based on their sorting
ability. A #1 is considered a Beginner Sorter, #2
a Rookie Sorter, #3 a Novice Sorter, #4-6 are
Amateur Sorters and #7-9 are Open Sorters. Most
classes in RSNC are numbered classes. What that

      Seasonal Plant Identification and
           What to Do: Answers!
Answer: ALL of the photos show poison oak!
The key way to identify poison oak is its leaves.
Its leaflets always grow in clusters of three;
remember, "Leaves of three, let it be!" The color
can vary from green to red.
What makes poison oak so dangerous? It contains
a compound called urushiol, which, when it comes
into contact with skin, causes an irritating and
itchy red rash.
The best strategy for treating this rash is
prevention, but if you do get some on you, wash
with Technu soap or dish soap and cold water
within ten minutes of exposure to avoid the
allergic reaction. Urushiol transfers extremely
easily, so wash any clothing, animals, or surfaces
that may have come into contact with poison oak.
