NCHA ANNOUNCES NYCHA HALL OF FAME

Jun 10, 2024, 09:41 AM by National Cutting Horse Association

NCHA announces the class of inductees for both the 2024 NYCHA Members Hall of Fame and the 2024 NYCHA Horse Hall of Fame.

FORT WORTH – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) is excited to announce the National Youth Cutting Horse Association (NYCHA) Hall of Fame Inductees.

“The NYCHA Youth Hall of Fame inductions hold great significance as they bridge the past and present, celebrating the achievements of the best of the best and providing a roadmap for success to current youth and their families,” explained NCHA Director of Youth, Rianna Storey. “Likewise, the NYCHA Horse Hall of Fame is dedicated to honoring the cutting horses that have been deeply involved with the NYCHA, giving them the recognition they truly deserve. The NYCHA Hall of Fame celebrates the significant contributions of both youth members and horses to our association. Congratulations to the 2024 class of inductees and the six extraordinary horses joining them.”

The NYCHA Youth Members Hall of Fame was established to recognize those youth who have made outstanding and unusual contributions to the NYCHA basic purpose, which is the public exhibition and constant promotion of the Cutting Horse. We are proud to honor these individuals who have exhibited a high moral character, good sportsmanship, fairness, and an exemplary contribution of time, effort, and interest in NYCHA and its basic endeavors.

The NYCHA Horse Hall of Fame aims to give the cutting horses heavily involved within the NYCHA greater recognition. In 2021, the NYCHA Senior Youth Board of Directors and the NCHA Executive Committee adopted the NYCHA Horse Hall of Fame. The first class of inductees was selected and awarded at the 2022 NYCHA Awards Banquet.
