North East Alabama Cutting Horse Association Cutting horses have historically been the indespensible ranch hand.

From the Wild West days, the horses that showed cow smarts would be elevated to the distinction of a cutting horse. While cattle ranches still use cutting horses to separate cattle or drive cattle in a specific direction, the sport of cutting horses has become one of the fastest growing competitive sports in the nation. Today a cutting horse is a horse developed through superior breeding and careful training. Our mission is to continue that heritage through growing membership, events, networking, and youth programs. This is a sport for life, and we strive to make it enjoyable to and for all age groups. In 1955, 300 NCHA events were held with total purses of $190,000. The ensuing decades have afforded tremendous growth for the NCHA and today, more than 2,200 shows are held annually with total prize money exceeding $36 million.

With the bad weather moving in tonight, we have decided to start the cutting in the morning, Saturday, Oct 10, at 9am instead of 8am. We will start with the Futurity Open and NP at 9am.

10/09/2026

We have one Trainer stuck in bad traffic with people moving north so we will move the start time today from noon to 1 PM so we will start the show at 1 PM instead of noon

Note from building management-
NO PARKING behind the building where cattle are. The big trucks have to get in and out and the guys have to have access to equipment and supplies up there. You are welcome to park your rigs in unused RV spots behind the barn, beside the barn and up by building. No charge unless hooked up.

Stall chart - we will have a smaller show this time so if you don’t like your RV spot you can pick another. I’m trying to keep horses and people in the dry as much as I can.

Yes!! We are still on this weekend! We have year end awards to present and even with the storm coming, we will be inside and dry at least most of the time. Can’t wait to see our NEALCHA folks!

I hate it but we had to make decision today to cancel our upcoming shows August 28-30. There are a couple shows with bigger added money that are on top of us and we won’t have enough to have a decent show. We do appreciate our people who work to produce our show, and those who support us.

We will see yall October 9-11 and we should have a great show!

Please share with those who need to know.
