ICHA  AWARDS NEWS

The ICHA is pleased to announce for 2006
           
The Mountain West Champion Series

A New Saddle/Awards Series co sponsored by
Utah & Idaho Cutting Horse Associations

 

The Mountain West Champion Series will consist of ten (10) weekends (5 weekend cuttings in Utah and 5 weekend cuttings in Idaho). The exact number of show days may differ between the states depending on which show format is used; 3 shows over 3 days or 2 shows over 2 days, or 2 shows in three days.

This is an exciting and a first class series; Roohide Saddles and beautiful awards. Saddles will be awarded to first place in all NCHA classes and awards through fifth place. Awards will be based on most money won per class, except in the Youth classes where points determine the qualifiers. All awards will be determined by a committee from both associations prior to the start of the show season.

All Mountain West Champion Series shows will be determined prior to the start of the show year and details displayed at each shows outlining the show schedule and the current standings. If for any reason a show is canceled the remaining shows will be the series.

In order to qualify for awards in the Mountain West Champion Series, a contestant must attend at least seven of the ten weekends. Riders must enter the class at least once in seven different weekends. Example: If you are competing in the 50AM class you must show in the 50AM at least once in seven of the ten weekends that comprise the series. You do not have to show every time the class is offered in that weekend; but at least once.
An awards fee per work will be collected at each show in the series.

Riders must be members of both Idaho and Utah Cutting Horse Associations.
