FORT WORTH – The National Youth Cutting Horse Association (NYCHA) will honor NCHA members who have served or are serving in branches of the United States Military in anticipation of the 2021 NYCHA BraveHearts Shootout scheduled for July in Fort Worth, Texas.
The NYCHA BraveHearts Shootout will be held in conjunction with NCHA Youth Week during the Summer Cutting Spectacular. As a part of this shootout, champions of the Junior and Senior Youth divisions from each of the eight NCHA regions will be paired with a veteran from the BraveHearts organization. These veterans will be trained by some of NCHA’s top trainers prior to the event.
In the weeks leading up to the event, NYCHA will recognize those in the NCHA membership that have served or are serving in the United States Military via a social media campaign. Additionally, these veterans will be highlighted during the event.
The NCHA and NYCHA is grateful to our veterans for their service to the United States. If you or a family member is a veteran or current service member, please fill out the profile found at nchacutting.com/ncha-verteran-profile. If you have any question, please contact Jodi Henderson at jodihenderson8@yahoo.com
