Fall Cutting Show | Idaho Cutting Horse Association

Watch western horsemanship at its finest during the Idaho Cutting Horse Association’s Fall Cutting at the Ford Idaho Center Horse Park. This 11-day Futurity, Derby, and Horse Show brings together talented horses and riders for an extended run of cutting competition — one of the most exciting and skill-intensive events in the western performance horse world.

In cutting, a horse and rider work as a team to separate a single cow from the herd and prevent it from returning — relying on the horse’s natural “cow sense,” lightning-quick reflexes, and remarkable athleticism. It’s a thrilling display of instinct and training that’s captivating to watch, whether you’re a seasoned equine enthusiast or experiencing the sport for the first time. Come out to one of the Treasure Valley’s premier equestrian facilities and enjoy the action.
