The 6th Annual Multi County Working Cowhorse clinic came to a close at Athens, TX with the participants putting the elements of 2 and a half days worth of training together.
Dr. Kris Wilson from Texas Tech University was the lead instructor with Allison Rogers, Texas Tech Ranch Horse Team member, and Dr Doug Householder, Emeritus Professor for Texas A&M helping clinic participants with the basics of reining, and working with cattle for the working cowhorse competition.
40 participants from Van Zandt, Henderson, Kaufman and surrounding counties worked with their horses for 2 and a half days learning basics on sliding stops, spins, changing lead to how to box a cow, and learn to take one down the fence. Youth and adults alike had a great time and under most comments will be back for more. Pictured below is Chloe Costello of Kaufman, getting ready to "box" a cow on her horse Annie.
This program is brought to the public every year from the County Extension Agents Tommy Phillips - CEA-4-H -Van Zandt County, Carrie Sharp - CEA-4-H-Kaufman County, and Hillary Grider, CEA - 4-H - Henderson County.
