2 Cutting History: The Sport of Cutting The first known cutting horse contest was in 1898 held at the Cowboy Reunion in Haskell, Texas. Today, in twenty-two nationals worldwide in excess of forty-two million dollars is paid-out annually as prize money, the majority in Australia and the United States of America. Cutting horses are treated as athletes, while their riders as professional sports people. When so much time and money is invested into an animal's breeding, nurturing and training program, the importance of horse care and serious nature of competition is at an all-time high, making cutting the most prestigious equine discipline worldwide. The Contest: Cutting is a western-style competition in which a horse and rider work as a team before a judge to demonstrate the horse's athleticism and ability to handle cattle. In a cutting run, horse and rider have two and a half minutes to work two or three head of cattle and keep them from returning to the herd. The herd (a body of cattle situated at the working end of the arena) is entered by the contestant and one beast at a time is separated and moved to the front of the herd at the contestant s discretion. Once separated from the other cattle the selected beast is worked by the horse, its rider setting their hand on the horse's neck and only using their feet to assist the horse in its job; this is where more than two years of training comes into the equation. The judge is responsible for offering a score between sixty and eighty based on the rider's cuts, the horse s ability to control a cow and the overall attractiveness or eye appeal of the run.
