We try to keep our schedule page up to date as information comes in, so please check it frequently before making plans. After much debate and careful consideration, the MCHA board has decided to pull its approval of any shows scheduled prior to May 17th. We will continue to stay on top of latest developments and keep our membership informed as best we can.

NCHA REINSTATES WORLD STANDINGS AND PROGRAMS
FORT WORTH – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) will reinstate the world standings and award programs beginning June 3rd. These standings will include Amateur Horse and Rider of the Year, Non-Pro and Open Horse of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Senior World Tour, World, Youth World and Youth Rookie of the Year Standings.
With the reinstatement of the NCHA world standings and programs, the expediated show approval process will expire on June 2nd. The NCHA show approval process will return to the original approval timelines.
NCHA earnings won during the moratorium, March 18th through June 2nd, will not count towards NCHA rider and horse eligibility, including the $2,000 Limited Rider class. The NCHA Executive Committee voted on and passed that earnings accumulated during this time will apply to lifetime earnings and NCHA achievement awards.
The NCHA understands that some regions will still not be able to return to competition due to government regulations. Alternative options are being evaluated regarding the terms for qualifying and eligibility at the 2020 World Finals, scheduled for this fall in Fort Worth, Texas. More details will be forthcoming.
GET YOUR LICENSE PLATE BEFORE THEY'RE GONE!
The State of Montana has granted a grace period for specialty license plates in danger of being revoked. We have until July 1, 2020 to reach our goal of 400 registered plates across the State. Please note that most, if not all, counties do not carry the plate in stock any longer; you must request the plate and have it sent to you. Also, the plates on display may be marked "No Longer Available" THIS IS NOT TRUE! You simply have to request them.
Next time you register or renew a vehicle or wish to purchase a new plate for your horse trailer, ask for the MCHA plate! This is a HUGE part of MCHA's income, help support MCHA! Click here for more information
