Cade McCutcheon

Following in the successful footsteps of generations before him, Cade McCutcheon continues to blaze trails for the younger generations of reiners. As the youngest rider to accomplish the coveted 2 Million Dollar Rider mark, Cade has set the bar high for his career.

Similar to Tom, reining was quick to become Cade’s obsession. He began showing in 2007 as a youth competitor and has been setting records ever since. For Cade, horse training is more than a job, “It’s a true passion,” he says, “I couldn’t shake it if I wanted to.” Since his transition into the open arena, Cade has been persistent in being the best. During his first Open Show Season in 2019, Cade stopped for nothing short of “record-setting”. Aboard Custom Made Gun, Cade took victory at the 2019 The Run For A Million, marking a 229.5 and clinching the Co-Champion title in the show’s premiere year. Shortly following that, Cade topped off the end of his first year in the open with an Open Futurity Championship in the levels 2, 3, and 4, this time with 2016 stallion, Super Marioo, becoming NRHA’s youngest Million Dollar Rider.

Since then, Cade remains one of NRHA’s leading money earners. Cade was most recently crowned champion at the 2024 NRHA Derby. With so much more ahead of him, we know that Cade will carry on the family legacy for years to come.
