Idaho Cutting Horse Association teams up with Wishes for Warriors to give back to veterans

The Overcomers

It is easy to get caught up in busy schedules, stressful moments and daily obstacles, and sometimes we all need a bit of inspiration to keep going.  Many of us look far and wide for that motivation, but often times that example of true determination and perseverance is closer than we think.

Scott Amos is a cutting trainer we all know and admire for his talent in the show pen, but his journey to where he is now is what really makes him a true role model we could all learn from. Scott grew up on a ranch with his family and spent much of his time riding and tending to the cattle and crops on their property. During that time, he was in a bad farming accident, causing him to lose a leg.
