NZCHA HALL OF FAME
The New Zealand Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame was started in 1999 when the first horses, riders and members were inducted. Traditionally now, each year the Hall of Fame inductees are presented with their awards at the NZCHA Futurity however in recent years has been at the NZCHA National Finals, We celebrate their achievements and they become a recorded part of the Cutting History in New Zealand.
To be inducted is a great honor and tribute to the contribution of each individual. As a sport we owe a great deal to our current and future inductees.
