We’re looking forward to an awesome 2010 Ranch Sorting season. I can’t believe how fast the years fly by any more! Is it because I have kids?? We have 3 RSNC shows under our belt this season and one more in a couple of days. The economy has hit us a bit and the entries have been down a little from last year. However, that is OK as we were busting at the seams last year; jumping thru hoops to accommodated so many teams in a short time. We are in the middle of the,” Saddle Series Linda Cirincione Race for Points.” We have TWO Vinton Saddles to be awarded to the year end #2 and #3 high point riders. Everyone is excited and is working hard to tally up their points. Jon Clint Davis Royal has had his heart set on the #2 saddle. So much so that he has ridden out of the Rookie class and is now competing for the #3 Saddle. Turning “50” at our next show may be the boost he needs to put him back at the top! Blakely Williams and Ed Parks are nose to nose at the top of the #3 division. Dylan Gregg is now leading for the #2 Saddle. The beginner class has continued to be a Bob Cornett great class for all the new and beginning riders. Kelsey Stastny has been the only one to really dominate in this class. She has been barrowing a big, old black gelding from Mike Grier. This is a tough old horse for anyone to ride. Kelsey has managed to handle him well Ryan Canady Photos by Jim Davis Photography

Jackie Bass and Danny McFarland Shelby Thomas enough to win the class twice. She loves the sorting so much she is looking for a cow horse of her own. Jennifer Fritz stole the show at our Oct. show and brought home the buckle. Ed Parks was her gate man. Everyone has caught on to the # of points you can win helping out in the beginner class!! Our weather looks wonderful for our 1st show of the New Year. We’re looking forward to seeing you all soon! Dylan Gregg Danna McFarland January-February 2010 The Ranch Sorter ~ 5 Hill & Billy Hill: Boy howdy! That’s what I love about RSNC, they just keep on comin up with new stuff for all of us. Billy: What r u talking but now Hill? RSNC Member: I have a question for you that I would improvement to warrant the move. With 8 more levels Hill: I should of nowed you only look at the pictures and like to get clarified. above the number one rating all contestants still have great don’t reed nothing. Billy: So just shut up and tell me,wont you? Can a producer of an event make me ride as a #2 if opportunities to succeed. Hill: Ok, heres the scoop. They built themselves a computer RSNC has me at a #1? I was recently at a show where So to answer your question in a nut shell, RSNC requires program to help producers and secretarires run the sortn the producer moved both my wife and I to a #2 for his producers to use the probationary rating time period to move shows. Its supposed to do all the good stuff automatically like shows which in my opinion hurt us in the sort for the contestants to not only keep the number one rating squeaky handicaps draws paybacks and even will print out yur bill saddle series. However, if I was able to ride as a #1, I clean, but all contestants that may be under or over rated in and tell you how many cows and yur time that you got on could have possibly won a check and more points in the their 1st year should be constantly evaluated by producers every run with every partner for the entire show. I will now beginner ranch hand. Even if we were moved to rookies to keep the contests as fair as possible. After that the win know if I ever win a darn thing with your ornery hide or not! after winning another check, we would have at least had a loss ratios will dictate who gets moved and who doesn’t. A Billy: Well darn, that may be just a schose to much chance at some more points for the rookie status as well. contestant should never think he or she is always a number information. Coarse I may learn a thing or 2 bout you to. I guess I am confused as to how he can make us ride as a one until he or she has won three checks. It may show me I might not win with you either but yur so #2 and RSNC still has us as a #1. If indeed he is able to do good that probly just aint tru now is it? that to us, shouldn’t he have to tell RSNC that he moved RSNC Member: Thanks for your response, it was greatly Hill: They r also starting a state points race for right here at home.

I’m not denying that I fit the #2 rating as opposed to the Hill: I cant believe that soaked into your thick skull that Dave Wolfe: Thank you for your question concerning your #1, but it’s quite a shock to arrive at a show expecting one fast. I figured I would have to draw you a picture. rating. thing and then get hit with the news that your number Billy: What else to they got up their sleve?

The rest of the definition of a number I also understand that not everyone can be numbered starting a Ranch Sortin Hall of Fame where the top riders one is a novice rider on a novice horse. Essentially, a #1 is correctly on the spot at all times, but when they come from each state and the top riders at the National finals will someone who hasn’t had cattle working experience and is in saying they are team ropers and cutting horse people, perminately be put in the RSNC Hall of Fame. even unsecure with simply riding horses.

Additionally there are lots of RV hook ups for those who don’t want to crank up the generators. Just to the other side of the arenas is a big community park with fire pits for cook outs as well as swings and jungle gym equipment for the kids. Speaking of cookouts, don’t forget to throw in your favorite campfire cookout recipe. One of the nights we are going to have an old fashioned pot luck dinner, cowboy style. So if you have some good beans and cornbread or a milk jug stew, or even if some of you true outdoorsmen may have a stash of wild game that you could throw over the fire, be sure to bring it along.

Blessed are we Again, producers were able to mingle more, get to know for each and every one each other better and get more ideas from one another. This is what we are all about. Helping each other. I was very excited to actually meet face to face with these amazing people. When you talk to people on the phone you get to hear their voice and get an idea of what kind of personality they have but to actually see them in person, well, you just feel like you know them better. Besides, it’s easier to give out hugs in person. Everyone went their separate ways after this to go shopping at Cowboy Christmas, (take a nap), or do a little gambling before meeting up once again to go to the National Finals Rodeo. I did some Cowboy Christmas of you guys. Producers, contestants, and even spectators. shopping; saved the gambling for later in the evening.

Here is the story of how ranch sorting started for the Thar Family. We first became involved in team penning at our county fair. It was an annual event here in Gillette and we really enjoyed it. After participating in this for a few years we decided we wanted more. We learned about a club in Rapid City, SD that put on pennings once a month. In Nov. 2005 we made the trip to Rapid City to find that they were not penning, but they were sorting. After this we were hooked. In Sept. 2006 we put on our first sorting with about 40 runs and put on 6 more in Gillette before we became RSNC Getting ready to mutton bust producers. We have grown since then and are now hosting eight events a year and have over 100 runs each sorting. The Thar family is made up of Zane & Stacey Thar, along with their three children, Shaylee, Coy, and Cade. They are Shaylee Sorting partnered with Gary and Susan Thar, with Gary heading up the Feed Store, Zane raising registered Angus cattle, and Stacey producing Ranch Sortings with the help of Sarah Reynolds. All of these businesses are ran and operated by family and close friends.
