THE PURPOSE.

Making A Cowhorse

Reined Cow Horse is becoming one of the fastest growing events in the equine industry. Full of vaquero inspired tradition, the sport creates a well balanced horse that is broke and excels inside the show pen and out. Cody Patterson leads you through all aspects of training young horses preparing from their futurity year to a finished bridle horse.
