Crazy for Cutting Horses
Robert Retford owns them. So does
Sissy Spacek. Suddenly the workhorse
has become Texts chic. When you think
about it. it's just plain ole horse sense.

n leading.
But cutting is not poor-man's play.
V person can spend more than
'100.000 a year for vet bills, contest
ses and transportation costs while
allowing the cutting-horse circuit
cross the nation.
“Mostly rich folks are involved in
utting as a sport.” says self-made
nillionaire Tommy Moore of Fort
Worth, who follows cutting competi-
tions for recreation “Cutting is not
only a great tranquilizer for the ex-
ecutive but a great feeling of getting
back to the basics.”
Scores of millionaires ride cutting
horses "to relax.” Some of those
relaxing horses are syndicated (where
investors actually buy shares in a
horse for as much as $50,000) for $5
million.
“It’s a macho thing,” adds M.L.
“Mel" Chattier of Fairhaven Farms,
Mich. "It calls back the days of the Old
West. It’s a bunch of grown men play-
ing cowboys and Indians.” Chattier
owns a stud cutter, Dry Doc, worth $4
million. His 23-year-old son, Randy,
has already been named N.C.H.A.
\Aforld Champion Non-Pro Rider
(1979).
Celebrities are also entering the cut*
ting arena. Oscar-winning actress
Sissy (Coal Miner’s Daughter) Spacek
bought a cutter named Freckles Page
Boy. Robert Redford rides cutters on
his ranch in Utah.
Country singer Lynn (I Never Pro-
mised. You a Rose Garden) Anderson
and her oilman husband, “Spook”
Stream, raise 20 cutters. Although
Anderson has owned all types of
horses, her favorite is the cutter. ' <
You have to think more to ride a
cutting horse. It’s the most athletic,
and most physically and mentally
challenging horse,” she says.
Kingstrean, the national champion
Anderson usually rides, .has made
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
earnings. But Anderson considers
Kingstrean more than just a good in-
vestment. Like the rancher, she
counts on — and applauds — her cut-
ter’s intuitive abilities, displayed in
competiton rather than on the wide-
open range. “I'm still trying to learn a
fraction as much about a cow as pan
my horse knows,-*’ Anderson adds. ULJ

for market or branding. Dependable f3
and intuitive, the horse seems to have
a sixth sense about the rugged terrain *
of this powerful land.
But cutting horses today are more j
than just hard workers. Breeding and It
showing cutters has become a favorite f
pastime of wealthy Texans and-,:
Yankees who’d like to become Tex- ;*
ans. Cutters are now an integral part ;
of the “Texas vogue” that has spread
across the United States like a dust
cloud over a feed lot.
In fact, cutting-horse competition, I
featuring not only range cutters but
also quarter horses bred just for cut-
ting competitions, is the fastest- ■;
growing equine sport in the U.S.A. t
The sport thrives particularly in Texas :
and Cafifomia. but major breeders •*
also Sve in Virginia. Georgia, Florida. :
Michigan, Oklahoma and Arizona

NO SEED, NO SOD!
There’s no seed that produces winter-
hardy Meyer Zoysia. Sod of ordinary
grass brings with it the problems of
seed: like weeds, diseases, burning out,
other ills. Save time, work, money. Plug
