\"\"The American Quarter Horse Journal —\u00a0The American Quarter Horse Association is proud to sponsor the\u00a0National Cutting Horse Association\u2019s<\/span> biggest event of the year, NCHA Weekend, June 3-5, in 25 cities throughout the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n

NCHA Weekend is cutting\u2019s biggest celebration of its grassroots participants, and this year, all of the shows are dual-approved. For the first time, points earned in designated classes will count toward qualification for the youth, amateur, select and open AQHA world championship shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with NCHA on this full weekend of cutting in June,\u201d said Tom Persechino, AQHA executive director of competition and breed integrity. \u201cA large percentage of the horses that compete in NCHA are American Quarter Horses, and this nationwide weekend of cutting is a great opportunity to spotlight the crossover between NCHA and AQHA.\u201d<\/p>\n

As most cutters know, the AQHA world shows offer big prize money, so NCHA Weekend is a great opportunity to earn qualifying points. The amateur cutting finals at the 2011 Bank of America AQHA Amateur World Championship Show averages $60,000, and the open cutting finals during the 2011 Fed Ex Open AQHA World Championship Show offers nearly $70,000, with 100 percent of entry fees paid back.<\/p>\n

AQHA classes will be offered at least one day at each of the NCHA Weekend shows and will usually be held as a class-within-a-class of the corresponding NCHA class. NCHA members who also have an individual AQHA membership and show an American Quarter Horse under its AQHA registered name will be eligible to earn AQHA points toward qualification for the 2011 AQHA World Championship Show, and the 2012 Built Ford Tough AQHYA and 2012 Adequan Select AQHA world championship shows.<\/p>\n

World Show Qualification<\/strong><\/p>\n

Qualification points for the AQHA world shows will work as follows:
\n\u2022\tAQHA points earned in the NCHA Open class will count toward qualification for the 2011 Fed Ex Open AQHA World Championship Show in AQHA\u2019s senior division (horses 6 years and older).
\n\u2022\tThe AQHA Junior class, for horses 5 years and younger, will be offered within the NCHA $10,000 Novice Horse Class, and those points will count toward junior cutting.
\n\u2022\tAQHA points earned in the NCHA Non-Pro class will count toward qualification for the 2011 Bank of America Amateur AQHA World Championship Show or for the 2012 Adequan Select World Championship Show.
\n\u2022\tAQHA points earned in the NCHA Youth class will count toward qualification for the 2012 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show.<\/p>\n

To qualify for the 2011 AQHA World Show\u2019s amateur cutting, exhibitors must have at least three points. To qualify for the 2011 AQHA World Show\u2019s junior or senior cutting, exhibitors must have 4.5 points.<\/p>\n

With 25 locations during the June 3 weekend, NCHA Weekend is a great opportunity for cutters of all skill levels to earn AQHA points.<\/p>\n
