Ozark Mountain Cutting Horse Association is a great example of how you grow an association over time.
One small example: their $4K Limited Rider class always has fresh cattle, runs in the middle of the day—right after the Unlimited Amateur—and averages around 25 entries at every show.
That structure has invited new people into the association. They get with a trainer, buy horses, get excited about cutting, and most importantly, they’ve been given a good opportunity to succeed.
Over time, their skills develop. They move into new classes. Often, when they change classes, they change horses—and when they change classes and horses, they often start entering more than one class.
That’s growth.
It’s a good system, and the proof is in the people who keep coming back.
They’ve found that this is a show worth showing up for.
