“To me, cutting is the epitome of horsemanship. The horse has a job and knows the job, the rider and the horse have to work together and trust each other. The rider gives some cues and a little direction but then has to let the horse loose to do their job. The horse has to trust the rider not to get them into danger or the wrong position. It’s a balance. And, there is no other ride that is so exhilarating than the feel of the cutting horse working a cow.” – Mick Rankin, discussing cutting
