Super Model Bella Hadid Steals Spotlight at NCHA Cutting Horse Show
This weekend, Bosque Ranch in Weatherford, Texas, owned by 'Yellowstone' creator Taylor Sheridan, hosted the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) events – Open, Non Pro, Youth, $50,000 Amateur, and Unlimited Amateur.
Stealing the spotlight was none other than super model Bella Hadid, a 'Vogue' cover star and 2022's Model of the Year. Beyond the runway, Hadid is a seasoned show jumper who is now making waves in Western sports – a switch possibly influenced by her connection with Adan Banuelos, a cutting horse trainer and the first Mexican-American NCHA Hall of Fame inductee, who also clinched the 2020 NCHA Open Futurity.
In the $50,000 Limited Amateur category, Hadid rode Metallic Tito, a bay roan stallion by the $7 million Metallic Cat, and out of Sweet Abra from the prestigious Abrakadabracre line. Owned by Iron Heart Trust, this dynamic duo scored 132, securing an impressive eighth-place finish.
