NCHA congratulates Brooke Salmon as the inaugural Rafter P Hardship award recipient.

FORT WORTH – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) announces Brooke Salmon as the inaugural Rafter P Hardship award recipient.

Developed by Brad Pryor, President of Rafter P Construction in collaboration with the NCHA, this award was developed to provide financial assistance for an outstanding youth member to attend the 2023 Great American Insurance Group Summer Cutting Spectacular and 2023 NYCHA Holy Cow Performance Horses Youth World Finals. The winner will be immersed in the National Youth Cutting Horse Association convention events this July.

“Winning a scholarship from an organization I admire so much is a huge honor. My journey in the cutting horse industry is just beginning, and attending one of the NCHA’s Triple Crown shows is a wonderful opportunity. I am excited to watch incredible horses and riders compete and make new connections. All of this will continue to propel my passion for this sport,” said award recipient Brooke Salmon.

“I am interested in supporting the youth of the NCHA because to me that is where the foundation of an organization is built from. I feel that the NCHA has built a great program during their NYCHA convention to really educate these kids about the industry and how to be successful no matter what their path forward is. I am excited to see the growth of this program and feel our first recipient Brooke is very deserving of this award” said Brad Pryor, president of Rafter P Construction.

NCHA is very passionate about continuing to grow youth involvement in the Western way of life and is thankful to have incredible partners like Rafter P Construction to create new opportunities.
