Cotton Stakes Cutting September 3rd – 10th

West Monroe, LA – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) Cotton Stakes Cutting will be held September 3rd-10th
at the Ike Hamilton Expo Center.

This event has an estimated economic impact of over $319,400 for Ouachita Parish.

Cutting is a western-style equestrian competition. A horse and rider work together to demonstrate the horse’s ability to handle cattle.

There are three levels of competition: open, non pro, and amateur. $155,000 in prizes will be given out over the course of the week.

“We are thrilled to welcome back the NCHA Cotton Stakes Cutting show to the Ike Hamilton. It is always a great event, and their staff does a terrific job bringing in competitors from all parts of the country. It’s an honor to have them in West Monroe and Ouachita parish,” said Scott Bruscato, Executive Vice President of Sales.
