The Ottawa Valley Team Penning Association (OVTPA) has been established to promote and develop the sport of Team Cattle Penning.
In accordance with this mission, the OVTPA seeks to classify riders according to ability and to establish rules to create a common approach to these sports and maximize participation and competition.
The OVTPA supports the view that team penning is a sport for young and old, male and female, families and individuals, and in that regard, seeks to promote a high standard of personal conduct and good sportsmanship.
The OVTPA brings Team Cattle Penners together in the spirit of fun and competition, and this is of primary importance in this mission.
