Ride the Mechanical Cutting HorseThe mechanical cutting horse simulates the thrill of riding the world's premier equine athlete in competition. It moves quickly on rails nose to nose with the cow it has removed from the herd. The cow is determined to be back with its friends but this horse says not just yet. Technology has spawned a mechanical cutting horse with the characteristics and abilities of the breed: smaller in confirmation - alert and quick - with the athleticism to make hard stops - sweeping fast, low turns - and the innate "cow sense" to anticipate and counter its foe's every move. The ride has multiple speeds and can entertain horse lovers of all ages and skill levels. Take a seat and get a good taste of the thrill that's attracting people of all ages to cutting horses.
