Spectators at a Southern California Reined Cow Horse Association show back in May of 2015 witnessed a pretty incredible sight: A well-trained horse working a cow without a rider.
The 8-year-old mare, Shine Di Light, parted company with her rider, but that didn’t stop her from getting the job done. Watch her at work:
Shine Di Light finishes her Cow fence run without her rider!!!Amazing moment at the Sherri Gilkerson Memorial show, produced by the SCRCHA – Southern California Reined Cow Horse Association, this past weekend. After parting company with her owner, Gianna Hansen, the 2007 mare Shine Di Light (Boonlight Dancer x Shining Di x Shining Spark) made two fence turns and circled up all on her own.

WOW and even gets all her leads right! Nice Mare!
Well trained and knows her job! Hope the rider was okay.
Just goes to show that it’s all the horse! 🙂
That horse is a “team” all by herself. Trainer/rider did a great job, but it has to be in the horse, too.
That’s a natural! Bred to be a cow horse! Work it Mare!
