UPDATES FOR THE 2023 RUN FOR A MILLION CUTTING COMPETITION

FORT WORTH – The National Cutting Horse Association has the latest updates regarding the 2023 Run For A Million cutting competition qualifier, including the classification of earnings and an entry deadline extension.

The NCHA Executive Committee voted to pass rule exemptions that allow earnings from the new, one of a kind 2023 Run For A Million cutting competition to count for the 2023 Open division world standings. These world standings are used to determine the top 15 horses that will qualify for the Open division of the 2023 NCHA World Finals.

“The mission of the Run For A Million is to promote the performance horse,” said Taylor Sheridan. “Cutting is the granddaddy of them all, and for these equine athletes to be celebrated on the largest stage in Western equine sports is a great honor. I offer my sincere gratitude to the NCHA for their trust and support.”

Horses of all ages and all competitors are invited to enter and compete at the Run For A Million qualifier held during the Brazos Bash at Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch in Weatherford, Texas, from October 4 through 17. There is an entry deadline extension through September 29, 2022, for the Run For A Million qualifier only. This extension allows all competitors to have ample time to understand the magnitude of this opportunity and how it can benefit their qualifying position for the Open division of the 2023 NCHA World Finals.

“The Run For A Million has been phenomenal for the growth and popularity of Western sports over the past few years, and we are ecstatic to see the sport of cutting join this competition,” said Jay Winborn, NCHA executive director. “This is a huge opportunity for all of our horses and riders to have the chance to compete on this new stage as we continue to take the sport of cutting to greater heights.”
