CowTrac systems are used primarily in the training of cutting horses, cow horses, ranch horses and reining horses. They simulate the movements of a cow, allowing riders to train their horses without the need for live cattle. These systems are especially valuable for consistent, repeatable, controlled training environments. They include features like variable speed control, programmability and remote control making them versatile tools for both novice and professional riders.
Cowtrac systems are used and endorsed by leading Cutting and Cow Horse trainers worldwide.
