Invaluable advice for both beginning cutters and more experienced riders looking to improve their competing skills. The cutting horse's instinct for isolating a single cow from the herd has become the basis for a major spectator sport. Every year, people from all walks of life are drawn to hundreds of arenas around the country to compete for prizes totaling upward of $2.1 million. Drawing on her own competition experience and on discussions with leading trainers and riders, Lynn Campion has crafted a book that imparts the knowledge that until now was passed on only by word of mouth. Richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, Showing and Training the Cutting Horse runs the entire gamut of training.
