Trending Now: ‘Yellowstone’ stars return to Texas for celebrity horse cutting – Fans React

The Celebrity Cutting on April 11 brings together stars from Landman, Mayor of Kingstown, The Madison and various other shows from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. The inaugural event was held in 2024 but took a pause in 2025 as the Coliseum underwent renovations. Now the NCHA is planning a triumphant return to entertain Western fans of all ages.

“There is no more important date on our calendar than this one,” Icon Global Founder Bernard “Bernie” Uechtritz said in a news release. “The inaugural event in 2024 was spectacular and a sellout.”

Icon Global has become a premier real estate company in Texas, becoming one of the go-to sellers for multimillion-dollar ranches across the Lone Star State. Together with the NCHA, the business created the Celebrity Cutting to support UT Southwestern, “raising critical funds for life-saving cancer research, treatment, and patient care.”

So far the 2026 Celebrity Cutting lineup includes Dave Annable, Michael Kelly, Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Neal McDonough, Ian Bohen, Taylor Handley, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Jill Wagner, Robert Patrick, Caleb Plant, Matthew Rys and C. Thomas Howell, the release shared. Bohen, who played Ryan on Yellowstone, returns as the defending champion after winning the contest alongside Non-Pro World Champion Elizabeth Quirk.

The 2024 contest also saw celebrities like Nicole Kidman, who plays Kaitlyn Meade on Lioness, in attendance, while super model turned cowgirl Bella Hadid competed alongside then boyfriend Adan Banuelos. We’ll have to wait and see just how many stars don hat and boots for the Hollywood-esque hoedown.

Tickets go on sale February 27.

Horse cutting, or simply cutting, is an equestrian sport derived from ranching practices of the American West. It tests a horse and rider’s ability to separate a single cow from a herd and prevent it from returning to its group.
