Hey Vanessa, the term is used to describe a horse with rider that has learned how to "cut Loose" a steer or cow from the main herd so that it can be branded or castrated or whatever might be needed. A well trained cutting horse will do most of the work while the rider holds on. It's become a rodeo event. Quarter horses are well suited for this work. Hope that answers your question, when is the next rodeo in your area? JD
What's a "cutting" horse?

ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification. To be honest I have no idea when the next rodeo is. I'll have to look into it...
