To give the cutting ../horse greater recognition, an NCHA Hall of Fame was established by the National Cutting Horse Association to credit famous cutting horses. To be placed in the Hall of Fame, a horse must win $35,000 * in NCHA Open Championship Contests. Upon winning the $35,000 *, a Gold certificate is issued to the owner of the horse and a plaque on the walls of the National Cutting Horse Associations's office. Recipients of the NCHA Hall of Fame Award also receive Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze Awards.
