ACHA Update..,The AMERICAN CUTTING HORSE ASSOCIATION regrets to announce that no further events will be scheduled for the remainder of 2026 due to a number of factors including high cattle prices and availability of cattle, low attendance, high arena rent, and scheduling conflicts with other shows. This decision was not made lightly, and we sincerely appreciate the continued support, patience, and understanding of our members, exhibitors, and sponsors during this time.
The ACHA Board of Directors is actively working on a schedule for the 2027 show season. We look forward to returning with quality events and renewed opportunities for our members and the cutting horse community.
2026 Year-End Awards will still be presented. The date, time, and location for the awards presentation will be announced as soon as details are finalized. We will continue to share updates regarding the 2027 schedule and the Year-End Awards presentation as information becomes available.
Thank you for your continued support of the American Cutting Horse Association. We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to seeing everyone back in the show pen in 2027.
