FORT WORTH – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) is excited to announce Brett Davis of Texarkana, Texas as the 2024 Zane Schulte Award recipient. Davis will be presented with this award during the Open Semi Finals of the 2024 NCHA Metallic Cat World Championship Futurity on December 6th at the Will Rogers Coliseum. Tickets for Open Semi Finals can be found here.
The creation of the Zane Schulte Award was established to honor the memory of Zane Schulte, the son of Thomas and Barbra Schulte. The award is presented annually to a professional trainer who exemplifies the character by which Zane himself is remembered: integrity, service, values, respect of their peers, contribution to the industry, and excellence in the arena. Each year's recipient is presented with the special Zane Schulte bronze trophy.
Davis, an NCHA member since 1980 has trained and shown as a professional trainer. He is currently showing in Fort Worth at the 2024 Metallic Cat World Championship Futurity alongside his son, Bradey, to whom he passed on his enthusiasm for the sport of cutting. “I’m very, very honored,” stated Davis, “I want to thank my family for supporting me all these years.”
The Zane Sculte Award is graciously sponsored by Johnny and Jane Mancuso.
“The NCHA looks forward to presenting this award in memory of Zane Schulte. It is an honor to present Brett with this prestigious award as an acknowledgment of his time in and out of the arena,” said Jay Winborn, NCHA Executive Director.
