Todd Drummond Award

The Todd Drummond Memorial Award is presented annually to an outstanding youth member nominated by an NCHA Affiliate. The youth member will be recognized for:

  • Scholastic achievement
  • Extracurricular activities
  • Cutting horse involvement

The recipient of the Todd Drummond Award receives a trophy buckle, presented during the NCHA World Championship Futurity each December in Fort Worth, Texas.

We encourage everyone to participate in the nomination process. Affiliates must send their nomination and information to the NCHA Office by July 31. So if you know a youth member that you think deserves the award, please contact your affiliate president or secretary right away. If you have any questions about the award, please do not hesitate to contact Jeff Hooper or Pam Robison at the NCHA office (817) 244-6188.
