NCHA ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL TEQUILA BRAND, LA PULGA

Jan 16, 2025, 08:48 AM by National Cutting Horse Association

The NCHA is proud to offer La Pulga as it's Official Tequila. Read more to find out the rich history and tradition that this local buisness brings to the cutting community.

FORT WORTH, TX – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) is excited to share that La Pulga Tequila has been named the “Official Tequila of the NCHA.”

La Pulga was founded by three friends from Fort Worth who united over their shared love for tequila and agave spirits. The brand takes its name from a well-known traditional outdoor market in Fort Worth, affectionately called “La Pulga,” where people come together in shared celebration and friendship. Brands in the portfolio include La Pulga Tequila (Blanco, Reposado and Añejo), an artisanal 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila with zero additives, as well as La Pulga Mezcal and La Pulga Sotol.

The NCHA promotes and celebrates the cutting horse, whose origin on Western ranches allows the organization to support ranching and Western heritage. The NCHA strives to give cutters a level playing field and a progressive class structure, which accommodates everyone from the beginner to the advanced competitor.

“At La Pulga Tequila, our mission isn’t only to produce high-quality spirits, we’re also strongly committed to supporting and championing real people, those who work hard and make it happen,” says Alan Thompson, CEO of La Pulga Spirits. “That’s why we’re so honored to partner with the National Cutting Horse Association, an organization that truly embodies those shared values.”

As part of the sponsorship, La Pulga will have a prominent presence at NCHA events and be recognized in NCHA marketing and promotional content. Also, a bottle of La Pulga Tequila was gifted to each NCHA Metallic Cat World Championship Futurity Open Finalist during the 2024 awards ceremony.

“We’re excited to count La Pulga among our many friends who support our sport and our talented members and trainers,” adds Jay Winborn, Executive Director of the NCHA.
