NATIONAL CUTTING HORSE ASSOCIATION EXTENDS PARTNERSHIP WITH 6666 RANCH

FORT WORTH – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) is proud to announce a partnership extension with 6666 Ranch of Guthrie, Texas. 6666 Ranch will continue to be the presenting sponsor of the NCHA Eastern and Western National Championship as well as a corporate partner of the NCHA.

Founded in 1870 by Captain Samuel “Burk” Burnett, 6666 Ranch has grown into one of the most storied ranches in the United States. Both legendary quarter horses and superior angus cattle are hallmarks of the “Four Sixes.” The ranch is also known for their state-of-the-art reproductive services and a full range of equine veterinary services.

"The Four Sixes Ranch has been proud to support the National Cutting Horse Association since 2009,” said Dr. Glenn Blodgett, horse division manager. “Preserving our western heritage is a common focus for both partners, and our alliance fuels growth and innovation within the cutting horse industry benefitting breeders and competitors alike. As the NCHA Nationals presenting sponsor for ten years now, we are proud to support all levels and ages of competitors, and this year there will be $20,000 added per class at both the Eastern and Western National Events."

The NCHA Eastern National Championship presented by 6666 Ranch is scheduled for March 3-12, 2022, in West Monroe, La., and the NCHA Western National Championship presented by 6666 Ranch is scheduled for May 19-28, 2022, in Reno, Nev.

“We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with 6666 Ranch,” said Jay Winborn, NCHA executive director. “The Four Sixes name is synonymous with both the western lifestyle and top horses and cattle, making this partnership a natural fit for the NCHA. I want to thank 6666 Ranch for their continued support over the years, and we look forward to continuing this longstanding partnership.”
