To give the cutting horse greater recognition, an NCHA Hall of Fame has been established 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 will be issued to the owner of the horse and a plaque on the wall of the National Cutting Horse Association's office will be mounted. Recipients of the NCHA Hall of Fame Award have also received Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze Awards.
