Cutting Training

Cutting is a western-style equestrian competition in which a horse and rider work as a team before a judge or panel of judges to demonstrate the horse's athleticism and ability to handle cattle during a 2 1⁄2 minute performance, called a "run." Wikipedia


As I was driving to my woodworking class this morning, I saw this young woman and her horse having a cutting training session with the man in the mechanical cow. I pulled over to take some photos, but the session ended just as I turned my camera on.
