Cow Work-10 total points

This will consist of boxing and holding a cow at the end of the arena. Through out the cow work, it must be remembered that the name of the game is controlling the cow. When a contestant is holding a cow at the end of the arena, maximum credit will be given to the horse that is obviously watching the cow and making counter moves to hold the cow at the end of the arena, with help of the rider. The more a horse is doing on his own the more credit he should receive. Horses will be penalized for losing control of the cow, refusing to turn, biting, hanging back and for generally losing control. Judges must take into consideration what kind of cow each contestant draws in order to accurately judge the degree of difficulty in each credit earning situation.   10pts.

 

Perfect score would be 100 points.
