About Working Cow Horse Events
Working cow horse (also known as reined cow horse) demonstrates the complete versatility of the western stock horse. Competitions include a dry reining pattern, herd work where the horse cuts a cow from the herd, and fence work where horse and rider control a cow along the fence, executing turns and stops. The discipline rewards horses that combine the precision of reining with the natural cow sense needed for ranch work.
