A bit rude, but anyway..........Actually he's in my saddle so it's probably a bit small for him front to back, but he rides with his stirrups short. Most cutters do He's tall, I'm 5'10 and he towers over me. He's gotta be 6'6 or 6'7.

And Chester..that dog nearly gets stepped on or kicked every time I'm there. She's determined, that's for sure

Who is your small and furry helper?

wow...most cutters ride with their stirrups abit short and with the "slouch"..if you've ever ridden a good cutter..at least in my experince..I tend to slouch and roll my shoulders when Im working a cow as well..helps you to stay alittle "behind" the motion and out of the horse's way so he can move his front end.

Thanks

The furry helper is his BC Sally. She runs herself to death all day. When I'm loping she's running full speed "loping" too.

You know looking at those pictures again.... I am wondering in the 2nd one from the last, is that Tex's tonque sticking out or his bottom lip?

Tongue. When he starts licking his tongue, his brain is thinking on working the cattle correct

Love the pictures as all ways

Lol, I'd slouch too with all of the jerks, rollbacks and turns that those horses do... I'd be worried about being left behind

Love them BC's, endless energy, but hey, a farm/ranch is where they NEED to be..no BC is happier then when they are working and doing a "job"

Great pics Endurgirl, Tex looks good as always!
I love cutting brahma cattle, they can really work. I've had some of my best works on them. Other times, they can be awful wild. I had one in Red Bluff that I cut, it ran, mooing, all the way past the judges stands, through some people, and then came back at a full run, mooing, mad!, and ran RIGHT INTO Hal's shoulder and back into the herd. Yeah that wasn't fun.
