Working cow horse is a type of competition, known also as reined cow horse, where horses are asked to work a single live cow in an arena, performing specific maneuvers that include circling the cow, turning it in a specified manner, and performing a reining pattern. Horses that can perform these tasks are called “reined cow horses,” “cow horses,” “stock horses,” or “working cow horses.”
Competition consists of three parts where a horse and rider are judged on their performance in a reining pattern, herd work, and “fence work”. Horses are judged on accuracy, timing, and responsiveness, as well as how they handle a single cow and their ability to ride into a herd of cattle and quietly “cut” a cow from the herd. The video you are going to watch doesn’t show a professional working cows but rather a cute little girl who is just 3 years old and tries to work the calves in the pen.
At an age when other kids want to have fun playing with toys Evelyn has a totally different passion, that of riding. Being able to ride a pony at that age is just a wonderful experience which is also priceless for the precious little girl. You might have never heard about a cutting pony but this video will melt your heart. Watch and enjoy!
