Peter Fuller Cow Working
Clinic
Participants in the Beginner clinic will be qualified
for the Intermediate Clinic the next day or in the
future.
June 12 - Beginner
–
Introducing horses to cattle and riders to cowmanship
(Limit of 7) - $160
*Price
includes Clinic Fee, Lunch for 1 day and Bottled Water
during Clinic*
June 13 - Intermediate
horsemanship and cowmanship
(Limit of 7) - $160
*Price includes Clinic Fee, Lunch for 1 day and
Bottled Water during Clinic*
Clinics may be changed to a higher level for advanced
riders depending on who signs up.
The clinic format involves three aspects of cow working.
Whether beginner or advanced they are as follows –
Horsemanship, Cowmanship and Sportsmanship. Most people
want to learn a specific discipline such as team
penning, cutting, etc without understanding the
rudimentary foundation for horsemanship and cowmanship.
The clinic will teach individuals horsemanship skills on
the ground and in the saddle necessary for working
cattle. Where to be, why to be, how to be, when to be
and what to do when you get there are the important
factors of horsemanship in cow working. Secondarily,
participants will learn psychology and zone-ology of
cows in order to move them in a specific direction using
pressure and release. The clinic is not fast and
furious but aspects of speed can be added later once a
good foundation has been laid for such things as cutting
and fence work, and even roping if participants are
qualified. Even people with former or current cow
working experience will learn a new twist to things they
may have overlooked which they will find out in this
clinic. Participants will get a very valuable
experience and have fun in the Peter Fuller Cow working
clinics.
