  • Traordinary Horseman Matlock Rose Passed Away
    The Quarter Horse world lost one of it’s legends on January 5, 2008 when the ex- traordinary horseman Matlock Rose passed away. Competing in the time when both cowboys and their horses did everything, Rose had very strong ties to the Foundation Quarter Horse. Among the great Foundation Quarter Horses he competed on were 100% stallions Jessie James, Peppy San, and Peponita. Rose was one of the great horsemen of his era, mentioned in the same breath as Don Dodge and Buster Welch. These men, at their prime, did not just dominate one show- ing discipline; they won everything. At a Quarter Horse show during the late 1960’s Matlock Rose won a halter class in the morning and followed that up by winning the roping and cutting. In today’s era of specialization for both horses and horsemen there is a tendency to pigeon hole people by saying, “He’s a great cutter!” or “He’s one of the best halter horse producers out there today.” Rose could not be pigeon holed, he was a horseman in the original sense of the word.

  • 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).
