Attention NZCHA Members,
We are registering interest in a 2 day Cutting Training with an Australian Trainer.
The Trainer would be Richard Webb who is a professional Cutting Horse Trainer in Wagga Wagga NSW.
Richard is committed to helping Non-Pro Riders succeed in the Cutting Pen and runs many clinics at his place as well as teaching elsewhere… He trains and competes horses at major shows in Australia, and has been in the industry for many years…also being a past President of the NCHA .
Richard has put together a very realistic package for NZCHA to come out and train at the end of January or the beginning of Feb 2019.
Dates tentatively would be South Island 2/3 Feb and North Island Waitangi Wednesday 6th and the 7th.The cost will be realistic dependant on numbers. Venues to be advised. As the North Island Shows are pretty set, we thought it may suit better to run a midweek one up there but all ideas surrounding this will be certainly considered to make it work.
Please register your intent to attend this by September 10th so we can get the ball rolling.
Contact Olivia and Janine to register you intent to attend

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL COMPETITORS
Have you ever wondered why a run that you have put together doesn’t reflect the score the Judge has given you? Do you realise that you could be on say a 65 before you have put your hand down on your first cow? You have asked four people to help you – what are their responsibilities? Are they helping you too much and costing you points? Or on the other hand, are you helping someone else too much and costing them points. Are you aware of when a lost cow or a hot quit occurs? Do you know what controlling the cow, degree of difficulty and eye appeal means to the Judge? Do you lose points with your hand too far forward or reins too tight? Do you understand the Judges Sheet at the end of the day?

Grant is holding another Judges seminar at 10.30am on the 15th of September at Tutukau Lodge and I am sure even if you don’t want to be a Judge it would be a big advantage to your showing for you to attend. Grant holds an excellent course and to date it has been by far the best seminar I have attended. We haven’t forgotten about South Island seminars and we plan to have one as soon as possible.

If you intend to attend, and I hope you do, please let Grant know so as he can have enough material prepared for you.

Kind Regards
Craig (NZCHA President)
