The highly anticipated NCHA Celebrity Cutting event will make its return to the Will Rogers Memorial Center on April 11, 2026. This event combines elite cutting horses with some of today’s most well-known celebrity personalities.
Actors, musicians, and athletes will team up with cutting horse professionals to learn the basics of the sport before competing in Fort Worth’s iconic Will Rogers Memorial arena. The event is part of the premier NCHA Super Stakes, culminating on April 13 with the Non-Pro Finals.
