"This video is a great aide in helping cutting horse
enthusiasts learn the finer points of the all so necessary basics of
riding and showing cutting horses. The presentation is quite
easy to watch and learn from and keeps the viewer entertained as
well as engaged in the learning process. Bill Riddle is an
excellent clinician and his easy going manner makes the participants
feel at ease, yet challenges them to take his advice to see the
benefits.
From the backward countdown while cutting a
cow to his "eyeball to eyeball" technique, his approach is simple
for anyone to understand and to use the very next time they are on
their horse. I would recommend this video to all cutters who
want to improve their riding and showmanship skills. After
all, the basics presented in this video are the foundation building
blocks for marking higher scores!"
