NCHA announces added money to the 2022 World Championship Futurity Purse
FORT WORTH – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) is thrilled to announce the addition of $750,000 in added money to the upcoming 2022 NCHA Metallic Cat World Championship Futurity payout.
COLUMBUS, OH – Cutting has been an integral part of the All American Quarter Horse Congress since its inception in 1967. In the beginning, the Congress began as a long weekend show and has grown to span over four weekends in the fall. Since the demands of producing a quality cutting requires so much more time and space than other quarter horse classes, it was decided this year to move it to a nearby location where space and time were not an issue. This move will be more user friendly to the cutters and will allow the cutting to grow at its own pace in the future.
The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) announces Metallic Cat, Junie Wood, and Metallic Rebel as the recipients of the 2021 American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Leading Sire, Leading Dam, and Leading Freshman Sire awards, respectively.
“The growth our cutting industry has seen over the years is largely due to our stallion owners and breeders,” NCHA Executive Director Jay Winborn said. “Their commitment to developing the next generation of champions will only propel the legacy of the cutting horse into the future.”
FORT WORTH – Every year, the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) recognizes the achievements of a select group of individuals and horses by inviting them into the NCHA Hall of Fame. These individuals are inducted into one of the three categories based on their lifetime earnings or accomplishments in the arena: Horse, Non-Pro Riders, and Open Riders.
A huge number of 34 horse-rider combinations competed in the Non Pro Go round of the Cutting European Championship at AMERICANA and the first three places were all about Salvatori’s family! Marco Salvatori took the lead aboard his Highbrow Time (High Brow CD x One Time Soon). The two showed brilliant skills rewarded by the judges with a 147 score.

He also rode Genuine Alley Cat for Davide Tresoldi to third place (145).
