Bonnie McCutcheon
Featured Clinician - Saskatchewan Equine Expo
Bonnie grew up on the back of a horse.
Her parents Kevin and Sandra McCutcheon have been her greatest influence and teachers to this day. She started in 4-H with beef and horses and then her career evolved from there.
She wasn’t much for school but learned to not just to sit on her butt unless it’s on the back of a horse. She went to her first AQHA horse show to watch with a friend that she met in 4-H, Shawn Getz. As soon as she saw the reining she said to herself, “I want to do that!” Since then, she has sought out how to train a reining horse and how to keep them learning and fresh without them burning out. Her training program is mostly outside – not always in an arena.
Her earnings consist of over 45 thousand and climbing in the National Reining Association, qualifying multiple horses to the AQHA World Show and have had many wins in all except of the Western world.
She operates and owns Sonador Ranch just outside of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, having a small breeding operation standing, showing her good friends (Tonia Smith) Stallion Gunning For Chex. Along with training and lessons and clinics.
Bonnie McCutcheon's Clinic
