With more than 50-years leading Australia’s cutting industry, the NCHA believe in nurturing and advancing every member at every level – from the grassroots arenas dotted in small towns throughout the bush, to the stadium lights of the annual Futurity event and the richest indoor horse sport in the Southern Hemisphere. We believe in the greatness of Australian cutting horses, their breeders, trainers, and their riders. We believe in the connection, camaraderie, generosity, and spirit of our cutting community, and championing the horsemanship that underpins our sport. We believe in celebrating the mastery and artistry that comes from years of training. We know that champions aren’t just made in the arena – they’re made in the countless weeks leading up to stepping under the spotlight. The generations of breeding and the decades of knowledge and education that builds up to that moment. We believe that freedom and self-reliance is the blueprint upon which we build. We believe that greatness is achieved when collaboration is revered and the rising tide lifts all. We believe in the connection you feel when among likeminded passionate folks, and the common understanding that the horse’s wellbeing and confidence comes before all else. We want others to fall in love with cutting for the reasons we do – because it feels like home.
