Girls Cutting 2010-2011 Champions 1st Place Taylor Armstrong 2nd Place Mikhayla DeMott 3rd Place Taylor Adams
4th Place Jennifer Cox The cutting horse must be ridden with
a bridle or hackamore. Time allotted for each horse to work is 2 1/2
minutes. A judge marks from 60 to 80 points. Any rider who allows his
horse to quit working or leaves the area before his allotted time, is
disqualified for that go-round with no score. A horse will be given
credit for his ability to enter a herd of cattle and bring one out with
very little disturbance to the herd or the animal brought out. The horse
should never get ahead of the animal and make it duck back to the herd,
but should let the turn back person turn it back to him. A horse will be
penalized for the following: each time he is visibly cued in any manner,
if an animal he is working gets back to the herd, if additional cattle
are picked up from the herd, if a horse clears the herd with two or more
cattle and fails to separate a single animal before quitting. If a horse
turns the wrong way with tail toward animal being worked, he will be
disqualified for that go-round with no score. Watching these horses
work, literally without cues from their riders allows one to see how
"low to the ground a great cutting horse can work". Girls Cutting 2010 |
