Getting Down!

Cutting is amazing.  The horses job is to separate a calf from the herd and keep it away.  The horses that compete in cutting are very athletic.  During the event, the rider separates the calf from the herd and then puts the reins on the neck and the horse keeps the calf out with out any instruction from the rider.
