AZCHA is an affiliate of the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA)
NCHA Cutting competitions are held around the world each weekend, offering classes for beginner riders all the way through to the highest level of the sport. There are two main types of competition: weekend competition and limited age events. Classes can be based on the horse and its earnings, while others are based on the rider’s classification and earnings. Additionally, some classes are based on both horse age and rider classifications/earnings.
Aged Events place a restriction on the age of the horses.
- Futurity – an event with classes for 3-year-old horses
- Derby – an event with classes for 4-year-old horses
- Classic / Challenge – an event with classes for 5- and 6-year-old horses
