I think you're referring to the sport of cutting with horses. Cutting is a Western event that originated on the ranches. A horse and rider are put into a pen with approximately ten cows. They must then separate certain cows ("cut" them from the herd) and keep them away from the herd for a length of time. Top horses in the cutting world are able to do almost all of this on their own; the rider simply lets them know what cow to go after and the horse will do the rest. The horses will also anticipate the movements of the cow; a horse who can do that is said to be "cowy" or "have cowsense."

What is a cutting saddle?
A cutting saddle is simply a light-weight saddle, useful for quick riding movements. When cowboys would "work the brush", the would need a "cutting horse", one that was able to make quick, sharp turns and sudden bursts of speed.

To make it easier to ride, western saddle makers developed the cutting saddle, made to be light-weight, more flexable and less cumbersome.

It really depends on the individual horse. For an ideal driving horse he is best to have a mellow and relaxed attitude, one that won't spook easily.

The bit on the bridle makes it so when the horse tries to graze, it chokes. Also, the horse can step on the reins and trip.

You should NEVER tie a horse with a bit in it's mouth or leave a horse unattended with a bit in.
