Jennifer J. Denison, HORSE & RIDER, APRIL 1999
Success in cutting - or any discipline - isn't guaranteed with the best trainer and a high-priced horse...you can't reach your maximum performance potential until you school your mind...even those who aren't cutting participants can learn from the book's first five chapters. Schulte teaches how to gain total control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. The end result: You stay calm and focused, make rational, split-second decisions under pressure; and most importantly, have the most fun you've ever had competing. The remaining chapters are dedicated specifically to cutting...Schulte provides easy-to-follow, how-to instruction...diagrams and photos supplement her explanations...Graphic icons used to denote tips and strategies are reader friendly...The book is well worth the read--packed with fresh, motivating information that will help you improve your scores and your enjoyment.
John Brasseaux, QUARTER HORSE NEWS, December 11, 1998
"Cutting, One Run At A Time," is a clever book on learning the mechanics of cutting...teaching cutters to stay focused, to slow down their thinking and to enjoy the run. Schulte, along with free-lance writer Julie Wells, has put the Mentally Tough philosophy into book form in a way that takes the fear factor out of cutting...the handy methods Schulte employs...makes the information easier to retain...tips and sidebars...graphics...photos...are well used to illustrate things like correct body position, horse-to-cow set ups... Although the book is an easy read, it's tightly packed with fresh, insightful and practical information, from training yourself mentally and emotionally... to gaining more control during your two and a half minutes in the spotlight.
