  • Cow Horse Classes
    Continuing Education Program for AHA Licensed Officials Cow Horse Classes 12/1/19 COW HORSE CLASSES INTRODUCTION • While some AHA Judges and Stewards are familiar with cow horse classes, most do not get the chance to work them often enough to gain valuable experience. This module is an overview of the various types of cow horse classes in Arabian shows today and will you help you gain the confidence needed to work a show with cow horse classes. COW HORSE CLASSES • At Arabian shows, there are three divisions of cow horse classes: Working Cow Horse, Reined Cow Horse and Cutting. • Scoring for each division ranges from 60-80 points. COW HORSE CLASSES • In addition to the USEF Rule Book, AR Rules refer to the AHA Handbook, National Reined Cow Horse Association and the National Cutting Horse Association rules for specific sections. COW HORSE CLASSES WORKING COW HORSE • Working Cow Horse classes consist of one phase. • One cow is released into the arena and the rider has to complete a series of maneuvers, showing control of the cow. • There is no pattern. COW HORSE CLASSES WORKING COW HORSE • There is no time limit, other than the “new cow rule”. • The judge will blow a whistle to signify they have seen enough work. • Time is usually kept by the announcer. • The judge will have a scribe. COW HORSE CLASSES WORKING COW HORSE MANUEVERS The maneuvers include: • boxing (keeping the cow at one end of the arena), • turning on the fence (running the cow down the arena fence and turning him back the other way) and • circling (maneuvering the cow smoothly at least 360 degrees in each direction without using the fence).
