National Cutting Horse Association's Summer Cutting Spectacular

Will Rogers Memorial Center hosts the NCHA's Summer Cutting Spectacular from July 9 to 28. The Spectacular is the third portion of NCHA's Triple Crown of Cutting beginning with the Futurity in December, followed by the Flowmaster Super Stakes in April, and concluding with the July Summer Cutting Spectacular.

Sessions during the 20-day event include the Youth Scholarship cuttings, the East/West Work-offs, the NCHA Sponsors Cutting, and the Sooner Trailer/NCHA Day Work-off.

Cutting horses are a working ranch necessity. From this work related activity came the cutting competitions that now number more than 1,400 NCHA-approved shows and limited-age events that are held annually. On a ranch, no rules are needed, and the rider and horse do their work without being judged on points. But in the arena, separating a particular cow from the herd, is watched carefully by the judges with a point system that gives credits or invokes penalties. In this year‚Äôs event, around 9,000 head of cattle will be used in the competitions.

Thanks to the support of the Emison Insurance Agency underwritten by Insurance Corporation of Hannover, added prize money for this year's show will reach $221,000. And shopping opportunities will abound at the Coors Light Trade Show.

Awards for class finalists and champions will be presented by NCHA sponsors including Cowboy Tack, Gist Silversmiths, M.L. Leddy's, Cinch Jeans, Sean Ryon Western Store & Saddle Shop, Walls, Stetson, Sooner Trailers, and KO Trading.
