Central Maine Team Penning Association (CMTPA) was established on November 26, 1995, by a group of equestrians dedicated to increasing the popularity of this challenging and fast-growing sport. Membership and participation continue to grow, with members hailing from all over our great state, as well as Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and even Canada. The club holds numerous competitions at The OK Corral, in Leeds, Maine, as well as competitions at the Bangor Fair, Skowhegan Fair, Farmington Fair, and Windsor Fair. Team penning often draws a big crowd at the fairs, with the bleachers packed, and even more spectators standing at the rail cheering on the riders! Due to increased popularity, CMTPA also hosts several Ranch Sorting events.

Our Penning site on the shores of the Androscoggin River in Leeds is AWESOME! Great cows, beautiful scenery and a big, beautiful arena. The Shoot-Out Cafe serves scrumptious food! Please call or e-mail our secretary, Janette Ross, (cmtpasec@gmail.com) for directions.
