Some good news for consignors to the 2009 NCHA Futurity Sales comes as a result of the Rock Creek Dispersal Sale on Friday, October 16.
Western Bloodstock, which conducts all NCHA sales in Fort Worth, announced this week that entries for the NCHA Futurity Sales would continue to be accepted for an extended time due to the overlapping schedule created by the Rock Creek Ranch Dispersal (also produced by Western Bloodstock).
More good news comes from Western Bloodstock director Milt Bradford, who reports that NCHA Futurity Sale consignments are down significantly from 2008.
“The supply and demand factor is going to kick in and those good prospects and show horses are going to sell well,” Bradford said. “As long as people are cutting, they need to have prospects.”
“I actually look for the Futurity Sales average to be up from 2008,” added Jim Ware, also a Western Bloodstock director. “A catalog of fewer horses should have a positive impact on the market. I also predict that the Rock Creek Sale is going to boost people’s confidence because we’re going to see all categories of horses sell well.”

The $2.1 million NCHA Summer Cutting Spectacular continues in Fort Worth, TX. I love that you can watch the live webcasts! The “Spectacular” is sponsored by the Great American Insurance Group.
The NCHA Cutting website is a great site to visit, and a great source of information about the world of cutting horses. Sally Harrison, who writes the world’s most popular cutting horse blog, has compiled an interactive guide to the results of this season’s major limited age events. Some of the recent events are listed below:
Watch the Thrill of Cutting.

2009 Super Stakes Open Champion, Third Cutting, ridden by Boyd Rice has a 230 point run.
North Carolina is home to quite a spectacular cutting horse farm, Matthews Cutting Horses. The owner, Jeffrey Matthews, and I go back many years to when his Grandparents and his Mother were alive and thriving in what was once a major hog and turkey operation, Carroll’s Foods, in Turkey, North Carolina.
We met in the world of Quarter Horse halter and western pleasure shows back when he was working with Tommy Manion, and have remained friends for many years. I remember the property his cutting horse farm is built on before there was anything on it. The development of a horse farm was always his dream and intention.
His two stallions stand in Texas at Oswood Stallion Station: One Time Pepto and Cowboy Cattylac. He keeps an ever-changing number of mares and beautiful foals at his North Carolina farm. (Photos courtesy Matthews Cutting Horses.)
