🏆NCHA Collegiate Judging Champion Team 🏆

🐻 Ava Walker - Collegiate Champion Individual 🐻

Four of our College of Agriculture students traveled to Fort Worth this week to compete against students from all over the nation in the National Cutting Horse Association Collegiate Judging Contest.

While teams are typically made of 5 individuals with the lowest individials score becoming a drop score, we marched down with only 4 students leaving no room for error. Students were required to take a written exam, a penalty clip test, and judge two sets of ten runs.

We ended up with three of our students in the TOP TEN as well as Ava Walker winning ✨ Champion Individual ✨taking home a beautiful buckle and a plaque. The entire team also got to take home gorgeous Gist buckles.

A big thank you to the NCHA for putting on such a well organized contest!

We could not be more proud of this team! All the late nights practicing at home, and early mornings in Fort Worth all paid off!
