FILER, Idaho — Futurity! Derby! Spectacular! If the first thing you think of when you see these words is the dance of horses cutting a cow from the herd, you're already ahead of the curve.
The Magic Valley Reined Cow Horse Futurity and Horse Show is showcasing some of the hardest-working horses in the business through Sunday at the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds in Filer.
Whether you're a regular at horse competitions or it's your first time, this event offers plenty of action-packed excitement as horses and riders demonstrate their skills in multiple disciplines.
"They have to be good athletes to hold up to working a cow," said Cindy Robbins, who is judging this weekend's events.
