Il est haut sur pattes pour avoir une meilleure vue de l'ensemble du troupeau et repérer ainsi le bovidé à isoler.

cheval berger : Ce terme, utilisé pendant l’Expo 1967, a été proposé à un représentant de l’«Association Cutting Horse du Québec». Ce dernier, tout comme les Productions agricoles, pense que «cheval berger» s’appliquerait davantage à un animal qui rassemble les moutons et non à celui qui isole les bovins. 3, record 3, French, - cheval%20de%20retranchement
