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 membership from Eliot to Houlton to East Port to Andover.

Our Penning site in Leeds is AWESOME! Great cows, beautiful scenery and a big, beautiful arena. Thanks to our cattle provider, Ralph Caldwell and his family. Their Shoot-Out Cafe serves scrumptious food!
