Attention members, we are very disappointed to have to advise that the Australian Open Cutting Championships at Equitana this year have been cancelled. Due to the new site development at the Sydney Showground, the new venue has made it impossible to conduct the Cutting Championships. Equitana are extremely sorry to have had to come to this decision and they understand how disappointed members will be about this announcement. They are committed to their affiliation with NCHA and the sport of cutting and look forward to continue the qualifying series and the EQUITANA finals again in 2014.

Please find links below to stories that featured on both Prime 7 and NBN news bulletins last night. A big thank you to both Geoff Smith at Prime and Simone Cameron at NBN for their support, as well as Geoff at the Northern Daily Leader where the story featured on the back page. Thanks also to Gail Ritchie and Grant Quigley who spoke to the media.
The NCHA has 53 affiliates that conduct shows, practice days and clinics throughout Australia. All levels of competition (including youth classes) are catered for with over 200 shows throughout Australia. These shows occur in Brisbane, Melbourne and at Sydney Royals and culminates with the NCHA National Finals in Tamworth, New South Wales. High Point Awards are highly prized and competitors travel many kilometres to achieve success.
The showcase of Cutting is the NCHA Futurity held every May/June in Tamworth. The Futurity has grown into the richest three year old performance horse event in the Southern Hemisphere. It incorporates the best cutting seen anywhere, the largest country/western rural trade display outside the metropolitan areas, restaurants, bars, big screen, live country music entertainers, and the NCHA Select Cutting Horse Sale which auctions some of the best bred performance horses in Australia.
