I just recently aquired a little paint gelding, and had very little back ground on him at all other than that he came from a ranch up near Buffalo WY. I was invited to help some people go move some cows one day, which dawned cold, 50 mph winds, and drizzly. We went anyway! My horse "Trax" got excited when he saw the cows, but since I didn't know him very well at the time I held him back some. Every so often on the 11 mile trip these cows would bottle up and then try to shoot off in one direction or the other and pretty soon I realized I could put him "on" a cow and give him his head and he would take care of business. I also found I had to hang on or end up face first in the dirt! He worked the whole trip, never slowed down, never got tired, never got sore. (alot of the horses did and this was only his 4 or 5th ride in 2 years) I have never been so proud of a horse in my life as I was that day. Since that day I had one other chance to work him on some cows in an arena, and we were just playing around. I know nothing about "cutting" but once again, if I gave him his head, he took care of business. BUT now I can see that I was leaning forward, unrelaxed, and probably not "sitting" him as described in this newsletter. So although it looked to me like he was kicking some cow butt, it probably wasn't as nice an easy as it could have been. I cannot wait to get back to that indoor arena and try this again!!!

I've been interested in Cutting for a while, my horse is a 10 year old gelding who has Doc bar bloodlines. Was wondering if I have a chance at teaching him and myself?

I doubt he'll cut cattle. However, you never know for sure. There is always the exception to the rule. Highbrow Cat and Peptoboonsmal are probably the most popular cutting horse sires today.

Highbrow Cat and Peptoboonsmal are probably the most popular cutting horse sires today.
