He's using the whip to make the fake "cow" go back and forth and has a sugar cube taped to it's head so the horse is actually chasing the treat.. It's as simple as that.. so you Nay-Sayers, just go get a horse and some sugar cubes and you will see how easy this can be...
Horses like this are bred to do this....just like a giant border collie. My cutting horse would cut a person without a rider if you ran across the arena in front of him like a cow....LOL.....my other cutting bred gelding chases anything that moves...with or without me......cows, dogs, mechanical cow, beach balls. Whomever thinks you train a horse to do this with a whip needs learn a thing or two about cutting horses before they make statements like that.
He's not using the whip on the horse. He MAY be using it to create snappier movements, but he's not touching the horse. The horse keeps working when he drops the whip. If you watch cutting videos, those riders have the horse on a loose rein....it's definitely bred into them. There ARE horses out there that pin their ears at cattle and cut them in the field. I have a couple. =]
What a good horse ( : He seems to enjoy what he does, that's for sure. Knows the old routine x)
IF the guy was RUNNING at the horse, FORCING him to cut that mechanical cow, THEN the guy'd be making him do it. But nope, he's just standing there. When I'm in an arena with a horse, I usually have a whip on me too! Just incase, never know when you'll need atleast a little defense from a 1200 pound animal.
I've got 15 years of working&training horses. Don't talk about what you don't understand ( :
@johnsoncm65 No he didnt if there was a sugar cube on the head of the doll then the horse would try to eat it lol

Just get a live calf and pour some molasses on its head. The horse will chase it all day if that's what it takes. :D
