This unusual technique originated from the south west of America in the early 1800s when specially trained horses called cutting horses allowed the cattlemen to efficiently carry out their cattle herding jobs. It is believed to have originated from a need to cut or separate cattle from the herds in order to brand, re-direct or sell them.
Todays Cutting Horse competitions involve a horse and rider who have two and a
half minutes to demonstrate their ability to cut cattle and prevent them from
returning to the rest of the herd.
Once a cow is separated from the calf, the rider must allow the horse to work by itself to keep the cow from the herd. Only when the cow turns away or discontinues its attempts to return to the herd, the cow is allowed to return and another cow may be selected.
The Australian National Cutting Horse Association was formed in 1972 and is an affiliate of the American Cutting Horse Association. The NCHA now has over 200 shows throughout Australia which culminates in the Cutting Horse Nationals Final.
The Annual National Cutting Horse Futurity is the biggest and richest equine performance event in the southern hemisphere and it receives competitors come from all over the world. This year the Annual National Cutting Horse Futurity was held at Tamworths brand new Australian Equine and Livestock Events centre. It also involved a Cutting horse sale, where eager buyers sought to find the next rising star.
