“The Alberta and Canadian Cutting Horse Associations have done a tremendous job of growing and strengthening the sport of cutting in Canada,” said Jay Winborn, NCHA executive director. “Cutters from these regions will have the highest quality of show with these two associations working together to produce it and make it memorable for every exhibitor.”
