Did reined cowhorse/working cowhorse with the local stockhorse club after it first started up. Also played around a little at the cutting game for a while, but was not serious/rich enough to continue.
My trainer/mentor was a serious contender in the reined cowhorse world in the late eighties and early nineties. I have a video around here somewhere of him winning a class against the likes of Les Voigt, Johnny Brazil, Ted Robinson.....
Been a long time for me too. I guess I just got over it. I just like my horses and i do my best to raise them right. I might help a friend with their cattle once in a while or go to a clinic. Ride the desert or in the mountains. I rarely even take them hunting any more. Found that in the area that I've been hunting I do not often need them. Sure do admire the people that can take them and train them to a top level though.
