The Wyoming Cutting Horse Association is all about keeping the western way of life alive and strong through the sport of cutting. We're here to bring folks together who love good horses, hard work, and honest competition. When I started cutting as a youth I spent many a weekend competing in Wyoming, as I got older I continued to keep cutting and found myself cutting more in Wyoming than anything else. Im proud to give back to the association that helped turn me into the cutter I am today.
So whether you're just getting started or have been in the saddle your whole life, we welcome all ages and abilities from any part of the country to come cut with us. We aim to support our riders, grow the next generation, and put on events that feel like home, all while honoring the grit, tradition, and cowboy spirit that make Wyoming what it is.
I look forward
to seeing you at the next show,
John Murdock - President WYCHA
