Mission
THE NCHA PROMOTES AND CELEBRATES THE CUTTING HORSE, WHOSE ORIGIN ON WESTERN RANCHES ALLOWS US TO SUPPORT RANCHING AND ITS WESTERN HERITAGE. BY ESTABLISHING RULES FOR THE CONDUCT OF CUTTING HORSE SHOWS, NCHA STRIVES TO GIVE CUTTERS A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD AND A PROGRESSIVE CLASS STRUCTURE, WHICH ACCOMODATES EVERYONE FROM THE BEGINNER TO THE ADVANCED COMPETITOR. NCHA DRAWS ON THE DIVERSE TALENTS AND BACKGROUND OF ITS MEMBERS, AND ENCOURAGES THEIR PARTICIPATION IN HELPING IT ACHIEVE THESE GOALS.
