Cutting Horse Demonstrations
Come down to the Equine Area to watch one of the most exhilarating events at the NZ Agricultural Fieldays; the Cutting Horse Demonstrations.
Cutting Horse originated from the Old West during cattle drives as a way to control the herd. The same techniques have been turned into a sport, inspiring cowboys from all over the world. The horse and rider must work together to carefully select a beast from the herd, then without disturbance, ‘cut it’ from the rest. It is then up to the horse to keep the beast from returning to the herd by matching the animal move for move, illustrating to the crowd the natural ‘cow instinct’ of the horse. Catch the cowboys working with the horses in the Equine Area during Fieldays.
