President’s message — wrapping up the 2026 show season
What a great show season. The weather could not have been better, and the atmosphere was even better than the sunshine. We met new friends, reconnected with familiar faces we have not seen in a while, and welcomed several brand‑new cutters. Moments like these remind us why we love this sport and the people who make it special.
The scores are audited, and the official results posted. Behind the scenes, preparation is already underway for our year‑end celebration and Annual General meeting. We hope you will join us Saturday September 12, 2026 at the Rath residence. More details to follow. We’ll present the buckles, acknowledge our generous sponsors, and reflect on the successes of this season — along with how we can keep the momentum strong heading into next year.
We encourage everyone to visit our Sponsor Page to see the full list of our 2026 supporters. Their commitment is a big part of what keeps our association thriving.
A heartfelt thank‑you goes out to Jerry and Sue for welcoming us and hosting these outstanding shows, Mark Canart for providing top‑quality cattle, Donna for stepping into the treasurer role, and to Marguerite for lending her lovely voice over the microphone. A big thank‑you to Anya Marie Photography for being at our shows and capturing our memories so beautifully. However, none of this happens without our competitors, turn back help, and supporters. Your dedication, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm are the heartbeat of our club.
Here is to a memorable season — and to an even stronger one ahead.
Thank You to our Sponsors
About the ICHA
Grassroots cutting at its finest!
The Interior Cutting Horse Association was formed In 1984 by an enthusiastic group of individuals. The priority of the association was for the beginner and novice horse & rider.
Today our goal is to keep the interest and enjoyment in the sport of cutting going with consideration to the economic level at which our members can still participate in this challenging and exhilarating sport. In addition, we maintain the priority to encourage new membership for beginners, novice horses and novice riders to the sport. Our classes have been created to provide attainable goals for beginners to advanced members, with the consideration of allowing horse and rider as partners to progress to a more challenging level each year if the so choose. We also offer youth classes for our family members.
Our shows are usually two day events and our goal is to provide fresh cattle for ALL classes. The order of classes are drawn each the 1st day and the class order reversed for the 2nd day. The order of go in each class is drawn each day. We provide qualified judges for the benefit of our members to receive realistic and fair scores that are accumulated for year end awards. We are very fortunate to have a good group of turnback and corner help that attend each show.
We wish you the best of luck in attaining your goals.
