Biggest Mistakes Made by Cutting Horse Riders
Larry Trocha passes on his knowledge of what NOT to do...
Mistake #1 - Trying to Learn to Cut on a Green Cutting Horse
If you are a person who loves frustration, then trying to learn to cut on a green horse is definitely the way to go!
Seriously though, cutting is one of the most challenging show events you can do on horseback. During a cutting run, you have three separate “beings” to deal with… yourself, the horse and the cow.
When you’re new and just learning, its hard enough just to concentrate on YOURSELF. Let alone a cow and a horse that doesn’t know his job.
Its far better to learn on a fully trained horse that really knows his job. You will learn much faster if you do.
Now, let me make this clear. I’m talking about “competition cutting” here.
If you just want to have some fun by working your horse on cattle, by all means, have at it. You’ll have a blast and gain some valuable experience. However, if you are serious about competing, then go get help from a top cutting horse trainer.....
