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. Judges must take into consideration
what kind of cow the contestant draws in order to
accurately judge the degree of difficulty in each credit
earning situation.

Score is 90 pts---$1,000 ADDED MONEY
**All horses will be judged by a panel of 3 to 5
undisclosed persons.
