Preporation For The Cutting Horse

I've been thinking alot lately that it is time for me to pick a sport for Pride and guess what! Cutting! Dont get me wrong, I am still going to progress throught the levels with him, but he would enjoy cutting so much! I've also been thinking about the preporation it will take -Parelli includes all. We will need to master these and get them clicking really fast!

*Leg Yields and Side Passing
*Roll Backs and Spins
*Yo-Yo at all gaits
*Follow a Focus
*Me-better fluidity!
*Order shims for my saddle!

That is all I can think of off the top of my head...I'll add stuff as I think more about it. I've been looking into Cutting Trainers, because honestly I have little to no knowledge how to train Pride to cut. I'll have to get all the rules for cutting and go by them -I am definently going to compete with him! I'm really sure I can do it and do it right, but I will never send him to a trainer. There is no way. If anyone is training Pride to cut or even riding him, its me. :)Over protective horse mom, hey, I take that back! I don't think there is ever a thing as a overprotective horse mom! You can never be too over protective of you horses!
Well I come to the decision that Nickers will be my reining horse.

Well I'll load pictures soon!

  1. Kaylee, you might look into the Horseman's Apprentice TV Show. Pat and the apprentices are working cattle in it... During the Performance Summit we also learned a lot about purpose driven horsemanship....
    It's good to have goals!

  2. Thanks Petra, I have watched all of the Horseman's Apprentice shows and have learned so much! That is what inspired me to go in the "cutting" direction with Pride :)
    Thanks!!
