The annual Burrandowan Cutting competition attracted a total of 239 entries at the weekend.<\/p>\n

The three-day show, held at the Burrandowan racetrack, featured a $5000 Novice, $7500 Non-Pro, $15,000 Non-Pro and $15,000 Novice events.<\/p>\n

Cutting is a specialist equestrian event where a horse and rider are judged during a 2.5 minute run on their ability to work cattle.<\/p>\n

South Queensland Cutting Horse Association secretary Ray Cooper said the Burrandowan show was a good event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of entries was about the same as last year, but it also attracted quite a few spectators.<\/p>\n

“The committee at Burrandowan always put on a good event and the catering is excellent,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It’s probably one of the best around.”<\/p>\n

Goodger rider Mark Buttsworth, fresh from his win at the inaugural $25,000 Campdraft Super Series held at Warwick in May, took out the Open competition.<\/p>\n

Alana Tones, from Kilcoy, won the Open Gelding Stakes.<\/p>\n
