(Fort Worth, TX)—The
National Cutting Horse Association is proud to announce a new partnership
agreement with Frost Bank. The new,
two-year agreement includes event sponsorship during the three Fort Worth
cutting horse events.
“We are very excited about
the addition of Frost Bank to our group of local sponsors,” said Jeff Hooper,
NCHA executive director. “As our
membership continues to grow and expand, so does our elite group of sponsors.”
Both associations have roots
that run deep into historic Texas and a large portion of the NCHA membership is
locally concentrated in the Texas area, creating a natural relationship.

Bankers, Inc., headquartered in San Antonio, is a financial holding company
with $10 billion in assets offering a full range of banking and financial
services to consumer and commercial customers throughout Texas. Founded in
1868, Frost is the largest national bank headquartered in Texas, and the only
one of the top 10 Texas bank holding companies to survive the financial crisis
of the 1980s. Both through internal growth and expansion in key Texas growth
markets, the company has more than tripled in asset size since 1993, producing
a strong and consistent record of earnings.
The National Cutting Horse Association is made up of 16,000 members across the United States with a wide range of backgrounds. The sport of cutting has roots in Western ranching traditions, where good horses were a necessity for everyday 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 1,400 NCHA-approved events are held throughout the country with more than $30 million in prize money awarded.
