Very proud of this guy for the effort he puts forth to learn to ride & better yet, ride cutters in the past 8 months. He's shown up at 6am to ride during summer months and shows up after he can cut out of his fulltime job in the evenings. My hat is off to those who apply themselves and get after it!
I can't wait for you to get there man.

There is a reason why only few try it, fewer stay with it, and only a handful reach the summit.

It is not for the faint of heart or for those who are weak in constitution. If you can get past the difficulty, to win takes a cast iron gut and ice water in your veins and a cerebral approach unlike any other facet of competitive western culture. It takes the very most out of a horse and puts the very most back into a person. It is chilling, it is frustrating, and it has to be one of the most rewarding feelings on the planet.

And never has that been displayed on any larger stage, at any higher level, or at any fuller throttle, than it was the last two nights at the NCHA Open Futurity.

You can have the NFR, the BFI, the Kentucky Derby, Rolex jumping, and all the breed associations wrapped together and nothing comes close to the cutting horse. The history, the artistry, the grace, the grit, and the sheer power. Measured telemetry has proven these horses can make a 180 degree direction change in a 1/3 of a second while taking over 3200 psi worth of pressure on their feet to do it. That is 3200 POUNDS of pressure per square inch on their feet.

“It’s a rich man’s game.”
“It’s too political.”
“It’s too confusing.”
“It’s too technical.”
“It takes too long to learn.”

No it’s not. It’s simply hard. And most people don’t want hard. Most folks want to be satisfied now and they want to be able to show off and they think “paying your dues” means spending a lot of money. My dad’s favorite line about cutting was “you try to buy it and you’ll go broke winning.”

Son’s Pitchfork cost 8000 dollars, took another two years to finish, and became legendary by the end of her run.

Pl***oy Olena cost 12,000 and rewrote history, becoming the first horse to win the Open and Non Pro at an NCHA major.

Ball O’Flash was bought for 400 dollars out of a kill pen.

Our true success is in our want to preserve something from yesterday. The cutting horse is a perfect example of the capability of God’s creation and over the course of history, the horse has been more responsible for the advancement of human civilization than any other animal on this planet thru war, migration, and labor.

My time in the sun has came and gone and, if I’m totally honest, I’m not so sure the memories aren’t better than when it was happening. I’m proud to still be involved, and hope my kids get to enjoy a small part of what I got to live through. And it makes me happy that cutting is so alive and healthy and drawing in new people. Like anything, there are parts and pieces and approaches that I don’t totally agree with, but I am glad for one thing…..

I’m glad it is still the hardest thing in the world you can do with a horse.

Finished up the night with a change of scenery. I have a few 2yr olds wrapping up their 90 days at the end of this month, and what a blast it's been working with them & watching them grow in-prep for the next stages of their career.

Build them up, send them out.
Here we go. 🤙

First time showing "Jojo" at the All American Quarter Horse Congress, certainly tough competition and a good time of seasoning for this mare and I.

Jojo Sann owned by Clark Farms Quarter Horses made the Top 15 for the 5k Novice Horse class.

Grateful for the opportunity to work with her.

Thank you, to all who gave us a hand in the show pen this weekend. We appreciated it and those who invest in me to get it going. Can't do it without you.

Very proud of the crew of horsemen & horsewomen comiing from different backrounds, came out to learn the fundamentals of cutting to be better riders, the ins and outs of how to work a cow, and find solutions to improve their work time. From the dry work & drills, flag work, to pulling cows out at the end of the day to work, it was a successful time. Thank you, for being a patient-teachable group to work with.

Thank you, Clark Farms Quarter Horses a great facility and all the help to prep.
