Benjamin,
I think you should do what you really want to do. If you still can’t decide, pray about it. God will help you.

My quarter pony does some of those things without a rider.

We have a horse at the stable that is very “cowy”. She is very fast and smart. Cowy horses rock.

Great article very informative.
I do have a question with my 5 year old Quarter-Arab. See I’ve been training him to be a cutting horse, and me and him are having a blast at it, even though I haven’t competed him yet, and the old owner is being stubborn and saying that MY horse will never be a cutter. Should I just tell the old owner to leave me alone and go on training him for what I want him to be or take his advise and give up on cutting.
Please HELP!!!

Once again, I see some irresponsible writing. Very little emphasis on informing people that NOT everyone can train a horse! Giving step by step instructions like this opens a pandora’s box of non-trainers trying to train…Not responsible. Get someone who has experience with training cow horses first, then let them assess whether or not you horse is acceptable for cutting or sorting. Then have someone coach you through it, don’t do it on your OWN!

I tried this over the weekend before reading this article. I realized I asked too much the first time. This is good information and am going to take a few steps back and start the process over.

Making a cow horse takes these essentials
*the horse should be interested in it(most horses
are)
*the horse has to be DEADout BROKE
well i’ll tell yall something my 3 year old mare loves cows even though we dont have any. one day she tried to rear with me just to get to my neighbors darn cows. so thats when i realized she’d be great for it and she indeed is.
