The Way Out West Cutting Series highlights top cutters and draws them to the Northwest from across the United States. Comprised of the Cascades Futurity and Age...d Event, Idaho Cutting Horse Association Futurity, and the El Rancho Futurity & Foothill Fiesta, this year featured a new twist where the trainer whose top three Non-Pro and $50,000 Amateur riders finished with the most combined earnings was handed the keys of a 2020 Jeep Gladiator truck! The full story can be found in the "WOW Series Certainly Does" article in the November issue of the Cutting Horse Chatter or at bit.ly/WOWSeriesCertainlyDoes.
