The Shootout will consist of three competitors with the highest scoring composited cow work from the course of the week of the Nationals Finals. The Shootout will exclude reining and emphasize on the horses’ ability to control and handle cattle. Only boxing, fence work and roping will be exhibited in this fast and furious challenge to see which of the top three will earn the 2022 RHAA Shootout Championship.
