The Pennsylvania Cutting Horse Association is an NCHA affiliate association that promotes the training and exhibiting of cutting horses in the Northeast.

Affiliates are the foundation of the NCHA- that is where it all begins. We encourage novice riders and new members, and aim to provide a quality show experience to all cutters, young or old, experienced or novice, trainers or amateurs.

There are classes at all levels with a supportive environment to help everyone advance to the next level.

In Memory of Bill Brenner

Last evening we lost a LEGEND in the cutting horse industry and more close to home in the Pennsylvania Cutting Horse Association.

Spend a couple of minutes with Bill and you would quickly see how honest, humble and how totally dedicated he was to your horse and to you. Those who were lucky enough to have known and ridden with this great horseman will be reminded of his wisdom, his big heart and his beautiful blue eyes .

He always looked for the good in horses (and in people ). He had a keen sense of feel for a horse and that is what set him apart from other horseman.

All of us in the PCHA send our heartfelt prayers of peace and comfort to his wife Jackie and his son Billy.

Thank you for being a light in this world to so many.

Until we met again Bill - we will always love you .

2024 RICHIE GOLD MEMORIAL SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD

Each year, the PCHA presents the Richie Gold Memorial Sportsmanship Award to a member who supports their fellow cutter, gives back to the club and shows graciousness in winning or losing.

Abby spends countless hours behinds the scenes at our PCHA cuttings and plays a vital behind-the-scenes role in ensuring a successful event by managing everything from entries and scheduling to results and communication, allowing competitors and judges to focus on their performances.

Previous year’s winners include Marty Miller, Bill Stein, Tina Delong, Michelle Sterner McNutt, Sandra Brown, Karlene Schlegel, Joel Cohen, Karla Maynes, John Costa, Jim Maynes, Dave Phillips, Jack Werner, Bill Woosnam (deceased), and Joey Schlegel (deceased).
