Fallon is set to welcome a new equestrian event this spring as the Nevada Quarter Horse Association (NQHA) partners with the Western Nevada Cutting Horse Association (WNCHA) to bring A Cut Above to Northern Nevada. The inaugural cutting competition will take place on April 25 at the Fifty Horse Ranch, located just outside of Fallon.
Designed to welcome riders of all experience levels, A Cut Above will feature a full slate of cutting classes ranging from beginner to advanced. Organizers say the event is intended to be both competitive and approachable, offering seasoned competitors a quality show experience while giving newcomers a chance to step into the cutting pen in a supportive environment.
Admission to A Cut Above is free, inviting guests to witness the excitement of the competition up close. Beyond the main event, visitors can enjoy a variety of refreshments from local vendors. Start your morning with a cup of coffee from Retro Brew Coffee, and throughout the day, satisfy your appetite with a meal from Otis’ Grill Food Trailer. For those interested in beverages, the Revel and Roam Beverage Truck will be on hand, offering a range of beer and cocktails. These offerings hope to foster a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, ensuring that both participants and guests enjoy the event.
A Cut Above is part of a broader lineup of upcoming equestrian events hosted by the NQHA. The schedule includes Wild N’ Wooly, a Versatility Ranch Horse Show in Gardnerville on April 11 and 12, followed by a cutting clinic with Kirk Ferris on April 24 and an NQHA - Reining and Ranch Horse Association show on June 13 and 14.
The NQHA extends its sincere appreciation to Patti Lund for helping make A Cut Above a success. We also thank Laural Wachtel, Debbie Weisheim, and Amanda and Jeremiah Daeseleer for bringing these additional shows together, along with our generous sponsors, including STABLE Pro, who made the events possible. And of course, a special thank you to our clinicians, Dave Thacker and Kirk Ferris, for providing phenomenal learning experiences for Northern Nevada.
With a strong focus on competition, education, and community, A Cut Above promises to be an exciting addition to Northern Nevada’s equestrian calendar and a memorable day for horse enthusiasts throughout the region.
