Welcome to The Manitoba Cutting Horse Association
Thank you for stopping in!
We would love to share our passion for the sport of Cutting with you.
We have some exciting news to share!
For the first time in Cutting history 😊 we will be offering a FREE CLASS! This class will be for ANYONE who would like to learn more about Cutting, come to our shows and participate at no cost. This is casual, it's fun, it's free and it's for everyone. You'll have a "Buddy" who is an experienced Cutter that you can count on to help you every step of the way. We'll get you comfortable working the flag and then progress to working a cow. You'll learn that if you're "leaking" your jeans aren't really wet! It's a Cutting term you'll get to know 😁 And this is also a wonderful opportunity for those of you who have a bit of experience (won less than $500 in Cutting).
The F Class not only stands for free it stands for FUN! Give any of us a call or text and we'll make you feel like family and introduce you to a great sport and a group of really nice people. No pressure unless you want to use your cow side leg. See! The fun is starting already!
You can contact me or any of our Directors found on the About MCHA heading or any of our members. Or use our contact form. Our Season Opener May 4-7 is a great time to come out and watch. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hello Everyone!
This email is being sent to the individuals who expressed interest in getting involved in our exciting sport of Cutting!
First off - thank you for contacting us! We are very pleased for the opportunity to share our passion, our knowledge, our flag, our cattle and our FUN!
And Cutting is so much fun!
Here are the free events we are planning to do in April and May to familiarize everyone with Cutting.
INTRODUCTION TO CUTTING - SUNDAY APRIL 16TH, 2023 11:30 AM TO 3:30 PM
An informal forum at Peppercorn’s Restaurant in Oakbank. A chance for everyone to meet. Then an informative session where we will go over the basics of:
- Cutting
- Flag Work
- Rules
- Getting started
WORKING THE FLAG - APRIL DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED Starting off slow by working the flag in an indoor arena.
Flag work is important to teach your horse to follow the flag. Stop when it stops and wait for the flag to move and pull your horse through their turn.
It is controlled and starting slow is key. This gives your horse (and you 😊) time to relax and get comfortable.
Several flag sessions will be offered prior to working cattle.
IT'S MOO TIME! INTRODUCTORY 1 DAY CLINIC - SUNDAY MAY 14th, 2023 1:00 PM
Introducing your horse to cattle at Robert & Jody Krentz’s Evergreen Land & Cattle in Pansy (South of Steinbach)
Everyone will be coached individually depending on you and your horse’s comfort level. This is an opportunity to get a cow out of the herd and do what we practised on the flag. And we’re there to help you every step of the way. If the cow goes back to the herd it doesn’t matter. We’ll just help you get another one out! Or you may work a cow in the round pen in a circle. You’ll get the feel of what it’s like to keep up to a cow and learn to control them. We’ll help you pick a slower cow that gives you and your horse more time.
Every time you work the flag or cattle both you and your horse will gain confidence!
Our Season Opener May 4/5 and 6/7 is an excellent opportunity to learn more about Cutting.
IT’S SHOW TIME! FIRST SHOW OF THE SEASON IS MAY 20th and 21st.
There is a class that we are doing especially for you! There is no charge. You can two hand and rein your horse to help them along. This is a no pressure class that is for fun and experience. And this class is being held at every one of our shows!
Please reply to MCHA@BASSTEL.COM to let us know if you will be attending the Intro session on Sunday April 16th. Everyone is most welcome to attend! Feel free to forward this email.
We look forward to seeing the big smile on your face when you make a great move on the flag or a cow!
