FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nine-Year Partnership with NCHA Concludes
June 12th, 2026: CHC Livescoring has been informed that the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) will transition to its own livescoring platform beginning with the NCHA Summer Spectacular, concluding a successful nine-year partnership in which CHC served as the Official Livescoring Partner for NCHA Triple Crown events.
Over the past nine years, CHC Livescoring has proudly provided cutting horse enthusiasts around the world with real-time scoring, comprehensive event coverage, and enhanced access to the sport. During that time, the platform became a trusted resource for owners, breeders, trainers, exhibitors, and fans following NCHA’s premier events.
We are extremely grateful to the many sponsors whose support made it possible for us to provide CHC Livescoring services for NCHA Triple Crown events, along with extensive social media coverage, daily PHC show results, and thousands of photos capturing the excitement and achievements of competitors throughout the years.
Since launching CHC Livescoring, we have continued to expand our services across the western performance horse industry. Today, our platform supports more than 250 cutting, cow horse, and rope horse futurity events annually, and the CHC Livescoring app has been downloaded more than 75,000 times worldwide.
“We are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished alongside NCHA and appreciate the trust they placed in our team throughout this nine-year journey,” said CHC Livescoring founders Mark Michels and Eric Schmoyer. “The relationships we have built and the memories created along the way will always hold a special place in our hearts.”
As NCHA embarks on this new chapter with its own livescoring platform for their triple crown events, CHC Livescoring wishes the association, its members, and competitors continued success. We look forward to continuing our mission of providing innovative livescoring and media coverage services to the western performance horse industry for many years to come.
CHC Livescoring extends its sincere thanks to our sponsors, and the entire cutting horse community for their support throughout this partnership with NCHA.
