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.

  • What is Bump Technology?
    Bump Technology eliminates getting off your horse, changing the speed dial(s) on the system and remounting. Working with a young horse? BUMP the speed down with the "-" button. Want to speed it up for an experienced horse? BUMP it up with the "+" button. Easily set slow and fast settings across full range.
  • What is the difference between the standard flag and a long flag?
    The standard flag is 12" high and 22" long. The long flag is 12" high and 44" long.
  • Can Cowtrac systems be used with a battery?
    Yes, all Cowtrac systems operate on 120/240 VAC and 12 VDC from a deep cycle battery. The Sidekick series was designed to replace the 12 VDC operation with a snap-in 18 volt Makita LXT style tool battery.
  • Can I use a different 18 volt battery?
    Yes, there are adapters readily available that will allow you to connect them to the Makita adapter.
  • Can I use a solar panel to run my Cowtrac system?
    Yes, installing a solar panel (45 watt minimum) and charge controller connected to a deep cycle battery will allow you to run any Cowtrac system.
