PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Greetings!

The first two MCHA approved shows are in the books.  Thanks to Miller’s Horse Palace and the Utah Cutting Horse Association for their work in producing great cuttings!  Personal highlights for me at both shows were the huge turnouts for the Never Won a Buckle classes.  Congratulations to Andy Hart and Ace Sampson who are both sporting champion buckles!  There are four more opportunities to qualify for the “NWAB Shootout” in Big Piney in August (check the flyer on Facebook for more details).  

Our clinic before the April Miller’s Horse Palace show was a huge success.  Thanks to Roy, Clayton, and Kelly for pulling it together and providing a nice opportunity to learn and have fun on horseback.  The next clinic will be right before the June Dillon show so you can be ready to cut!

I hope you are planning to attend the joint Treasure State Cutting Horse Association/MCHA show in Deerlodge on May 5-7th.  Come for 1, 2, or 3 days!  There will be a super fun hosted Kentucky Derby party Saturday afternoon - complete with a “best hat” contest.  Find a fun hat to wear and join us!  

My parting thoughts come from Cass Tatum.  “If you are not willing to learn, NO ONE can help you.  If you are determined to learn, NO ONE can stop you!” 

See you at a cutting
- Peri
