Cutting Horses

A few years ago when I was in Houston I attended a rodeo competition. Competitors came to the event throughout the west, including from Alberta and Saskatchewan. One of the events was a cutting horse event. We saw a similar event on a trip to Colorado about six years before. I was fascinated by how the rider and horse work as a team to cut cows and horses. It was a thing of beauty that I would be happy to watch again.

On youtube there are several clips showing cutting horses in action. Here is one such clip, enjoy.

You have to admire the skill of the riders and the teamwork that they develop with their horses.
