Dec 18, 2024, 15:50 PM by National Cutting Horse Association

The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) is excited to acknowledge the judges who selected this year’s NCHA Metallic Cat World Championship Futurity and NCHA Broke Spur Ranch World Finals Champions.

Fort Worth, TX – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) is proud to recognize the following judges who determined this year’s NCHA Metallic Cat World Championship Futurity and NCHA Broke Spur Ranch World Finals Champions.

“Each of these judges portrays a consistency and dedication to the sport of cutting that all judges strive for. To see each horse and rider pair that enters the herd and evaluate them fairly is a tremendous amount of work and mental strength,” said Andy Adams, NCHA Director of Judges. “The consistency these men and women put into their rankings determines the best possible champion for each class. I am tremendously proud of these judges and for their hard work in the Coliseum and Watt Arenas.”
