Cutting saddles are designed for a specific task,i.e cutting or separating a calf or cow from the herd.

 

Bearing in mind the calf will want to return to his mom this can be quite a challenge for the cowboy or more correctly his horse.

 

A horse trained for this work is called a cutting horse and he is the sheep dog of the equestrian world. He will almost instintively twist and turn to keep the calf seperated. This is a job performed well by quarter horses although other breeds may do it.

 

A cutting saddle will have a small horn and a high cantle, due to the frequent stops and starts a deep seat is a must. If you have ridden a cutting horse you will appreciate this.
