Welcome to the of the Wyoming Cutting Horse Association

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE WCHA!

Special Qualifying Standards for NCHA Eastern & Western National Championships:

At their meeting on November 8, the NCHA Executive Committee voted to amend the requirements (for one year only) for qualifying for the NCHA Eastern National Championships (to be held in March 2012) and the NCHA Western National Championships (to be held in late-April & early-May 2012)

For the upcoming National Championships, cutters must only have paid an entry fee and ridden to the herd at least once in a class during the 2011 point year in order to be eligible to enter that class at the National Championships to be held in 2012. Proof that a cutter entered a certain class at least once is the responsibility of the cutter to provide to the NCHA at the time they enter the National Championships. Entry forms for the competition will be available in early 2012. Since proof of entry must be provided to the NCHA, please go to: www.cuttingnews.com , click on the Area 4 balloon and then click on the link to the Wyoming CHA. Once there, one may click on the show in which they participated and print a copy of the class that was shown in. The show results have been changed to include all riders in all classes at all of the WCHA 2011 shows. If you need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to call Traci @ 307-331-0580 or email me at: traci_hatten75@yahoo.com  and I will be happy to help you!

The Executive Committee voted to lessen the entry requirements for next year's events, primarily due to the fact that many NCHA weekend shows had to be cancelled in 2011 due to the outbreak of the EHV-1 virus. These show cancellations created a situation where many members who would have used shows that had to be cancelled to qualify for the prestigious National Championships could not do so under the normal qualifying standards.

"We want to be as 'member friendly' as possible with this," noted NCHA President Keith Deaville. "The Eastern and Western National Championships are very important events for weekend cutters. We don't want to see any members unable to participate in 2012 due to the hardships that the EHV-1 virus caused this past summer."
