About this episode
You can't talk about Team Penning without talking about the Quarter Horse. This sport is perhaps the purest test of the breed's intelligence, speed, and 'cowiness.' In just 60 seconds, a team of three riders and their horses have to communicate, strategize, and execute a perfect cut. Where does that incredible skill come from? We're looking back at the foundation of the sport, exploring how the innate ability of the working cow horse gave birth to a competitive arena where teamwork and instinct are what truly win the day.
