sport of cutting has roots in Western ranching traditions, where good horses
were a necessity for every day ranch work and cattle handling. From cowgirls to
CEOs, from firefighters to professional football players, the common ground is
often in the cutting arena. Each year more than 2,200 NCHA-approved events are
held throughout the country with more than $35 million in prize money awarded.
