Versatility Showcase - Working Western - Working Cow Horse

The Working Cow Horse event is exactly what the name implies, and shows the versatility of a much needed working western horse. There are three portions, reining, cutting, and fence work. A working cow horse has to perform a reining pattern, cut cows, and then show that it can control a cow both in the open and along a fence line. The horse has to move the cow along the fence and then turn it the opposite direction at speed. Then the horse has to take the cow to the center of the arena and circle around the cow both directions, showing control.
