Thank you for the support of the Winter Fest practice show on Sunday. So many new faces NICHA is rapidly growing. These shows will have you ready to compete for 2010 approved NCHA and NICHA events. Our next Winter Fest practice show will be on January 31, 2010 at noon.

Julie, Leslie, Brach and Eric showed in the absolute beginner class. The excitement was in the air as they all completed their event.


A special thanks for Randal Buss and his snaffle bit horses that worked in the two hand class. This event will help to promote cattle horses and prepare them for future working cow horse events. Anyone wanting to come and work on cattle let us know.

NICHA will have a meeting this week to plan our 2010 calendar. NICHA will have an approved show in March. Winter Fest will allow all to come work their horses for these upcoming events.

National Cutting Horse Association sponsored days will be held in June at the Belvedere Fair Grounds in side their arena. You must be an NICHA memeber and NCHA member to participate in these events. If you need help getting membership information please contact us.

Our goal is once again to have awards for Cutting Fest and NICHA,NCHA events. If you have any questions on eligibility we are all available to help. NICHA plans to tentatively have a banquet at clock tower resort again. Lots of fun! Come in out of the cold and get your horses ready. Oregon Illinois indoor arena is the location.

Thank you Jessie Allen, Tyler and Colton for your volunteer help at the show. Tim Barry also judged along with explain cutting horses for the spectators. With out volunteers we could not have such affordable entry fees. These volunteers keep cutting economically feasible

Thank you for all your support, As soon as we hold our meeting NICHA will have the new show schedule.
