Back by popular demand, the Cinch RSNC ranch sorting will once again be featured in the event lineup at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, and fans far and wide can view the livestream action for two days Feb. 20-21, 2025, on Ride TV.
The event, hosted amidst the 18-day Western sports extravaganza that is the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, is returning to Freeman Coliseum after a hiatus from the event lineup, and the timing is well-aligned with the recent growth of ranch sorting’s signature association: the Cinch RSNC.
“We are excited to be back at the historic San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo with two days of jam-packed Cinch RSNC ranch sorting,” said Cinch RSNC Event Director Logan Wolfe. “With $15,000 of added cash and the top-of-the-line San Antonio crew working with our RSNC team, this is guaranteed to be a tremendous event. Ranch Sorters agree, as evidenced by stalls for the event selling out in just one week. We hope to add this highlight event as an annual show, and we’re thrilled we get to share the action through the Ride TV livestream as an added benefit to our Platinum members.”
The ranch sorting begins Thursday, Feb. 20, at 10:00 a.m., local time, in two pens. Six classes will commence on Thursday and, of those classes, four will run to completion. On Friday, Feb. 21, five new classes will commence, of which only one will run to completion. When that class concludes, Finals Night will feature the short-goes of the yet-concluded classes, including the Cinch RSNC Gold Shoutouts. Ride TV will provide coverage of each of the pens, including the Finals Night championship rounds.
A Ride TV membership is included with a Cinch RSNC Platinum membership. A Platinum membership also includes a membership to USRider—the most comprehensive roadside service for passenger cars, trucks, trailers and the animals they’re carrying; an annual print subscription to Horse&Rider magazine; ride discounts at Cinch RSNC events; Gold Shootout entry eligibility, and more.
