Horsemanship / Cow Working

Dilkera Station - Nebo, QLD 4742
This course also includes a horsemanship element to it as well. The cow working
element includes the tracking of cattle and working cattle from the herd.
The cow or bovine species is a prey animal and relates to things in very much the
same way as a horse does.
This course is a great example of combining principle and purpose. Cow working has a lot of the ingredients of other sports in that a horse has to be able to
lengthen and shorten when rating a cow, much the same as a horse would when
jumping combinations, he needs to have good weight distribution and impulsion,
and show athleticism and at the same time can be a lot of fun! Participants learn
how to focus better and use their peripheral focus.
