SOME HISTORY ABOUT THE N.R.C.H.C. CLUB

The NRCHC was formed in 1978 nearing its 30^th anniversary. The first president of the club was Terry Shelton and David Johnston did the job for many years afterwards. David was a very keen competitor and organizer and did a great job steering the club in the right direction.  We now hold a show in August at Bangalow in memory of David whom was tragically taken from us.  He organized practice days at his own place as well as at George Walter's at South Codrington, situated between Lismore and Casino. Shows, schools, and practice days were also ran at Jim Khan's near Casino, Robert Maxwell's at Coraki, Kevin McMahon's at Murwillumbah, Derek Veare's at Uki, Bob Guest's at Bangalow,  Bruce Lang's at Ewingsdale, Phil McLeod's at Myocum and many other private venues.  Major contributions from members in the past like Toni Frew, Lyn and Kevin McMahon and Ken Braddock, to name a few, have served to make the Northern Rivers Cutting Horse Club Inc., a great association to be a member of.

The club holds approximately 7 shows a year at showgrounds such as; Bonalbo, Casino, Kyogle, and Bangalow.  We offer the club members an opportunity to attend 1-2 schools per year where a professional trainer instructs beginners and more advanced riders where they can learn about training and showing a cutting horse.  We are a family based club so please if you are new to cutting and want to learn about it come along to our practice or show days, and introduce yourself to other club members (THEY ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP NEW MEMBERS).
