Chrome Cash pays $17,000 to Paints at major NRCHA and NCHA Shows

Posted on August 15, 2020 by

The American Paint Horse Association (APHA) Chrome Cash program paid out more than $17,0000 to Paints competing at the 2020 National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) Derby and the 2020 National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) Summer Spectacular.
