Services & Process

Joe Ammann Cutting Horses offers boarding for horses, horseback riding, and ranch-related services. Cutting is a highly technical discipline where a horse and rider work together to separate a single cow from a herd, and training in this discipline requires both an experienced trainer and cattle on the property. Boarding here likely means your horse is in a working ranch environment with proper land, livestock, and facilities to support that kind of conditioning. Horseback riding opportunities may include both training rides and general riding on ranch terrain, giving horses a well-rounded environment to develop.

The facility's rural location draws clients from across the region who are specifically looking for cutting horse expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cutting horse training and is it right for my horse?
Cutting is a competitive Western discipline where a horse uses its instincts and training to keep a cow separated from a herd without guidance from the rider. Not every horse is suited for cutting, so an experienced trainer like Joe Ammann can evaluate your horse's temperament and athletic ability before committing to a program.
Do I need to own a cutting horse to board at this facility?
Boarding at a cutting horse ranch doesn't necessarily require your horse to be in a cutting program, though the environment is shaped around that discipline. Call (785) 340-2297 to ask whether general boarding is available alongside the training operation.
What kind of riding opportunities are available for beginners at a ranch like this?
Ranch-style riding can include trail riding across open pastures, basic horsemanship instruction, and exposure to cattle work at a beginner's pace. It's worth asking the facility what riding options are available for those not pursuing competitive cutting.
How long does it typically take to start training a cutting horse?
Basic cutting training usually takes several months before a horse is ready to work cattle independently in a competitive setting. The timeline depends heavily on the horse's prior training, natural instincts, and how frequently it works with the trainer.
Are there cutting horse competitions I can enter near Westmoreland, Kansas?
Kansas has an active cutting horse circuit through the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA), with events held across the state and region throughout the year. Your trainer can point you toward appropriate entry-level or open competitions once your horse is ready.
What should I look for when evaluating a cutting horse ranch?
Look for live cattle on the property, a trainer with documented competition experience, and horses that appear calm and well-conditioned. The facility should be willing to let you observe a training session before you commit to boarding or a training program.
