OUR STORY
Carolinas Cutting Horse Association was formed by a group of NCHA Members in 2022 to bring a membership ran and led National Cutting Horse Association Affiliate to North and South Carolina. A petition of over 30 NCHA members was gathered by Ric Rumble in the Summer of 2022 at a weekend show in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The non-profit was formed along with the initial board and officers assembled in the Fall of 2022.
We are a volunteer led registered non-profit and official affiliate of the National Cutting Horse Association

What is a CCHA Produced Event?
​
A CCHA Produced Event is a show organized and managed directly by the Carolinas Cutting Horse Association (CCHA). These events are designed to uphold the highest standards of competition, provide opportunities for participants to earn points towards year-end standings, and support the growth of cutting horse events in our region.
​
What is a Co-Sanctioned Event?
​
A Co-Sanctioned Event is a show produced by an independent show producer but endorsed by the CCHA. These events allow participants to earn points towards the CCHA Year-End Standings while adhering to NCHA & CCHA guidelines. Co-Sanctioned Events are an excellent opportunity for independent producers to collaborate with CCHA and gain additional exposure for their events.
