Lloyd and Christina
Over the past 25 years, Lloyd Cox has proven himself to be one of the cutting industry's top horse trainers. Lloyd's top honor came in 2000 when he was inducted into the NCHA Rider Hall of Fame. In 2003, he was the NCHA leading money earner rider of the year earning a total of over $714,583 in one year. In 2004, he released his first cutting horse instructional video called "Hooking up with Lloyd Cox".

Lloyd was on his way to reaching and fulfilling his dream in 1985 when he earned his first paycheck in the cutting show pen. His winnings in 1985 totaled more than $2,855. Although that doesn't seem like much to some, it was the beginning to a great and successful journey. Even Lloyd couldn't have imagined that his dreams would take him as far as they have.

Between 1986 to 1996, Lloyd's name began hitting the headlines more often in the cutting industry. He rode a mare, Missy Farmer, to win a total of more than $73,113 in NCHA earnings. Lloyd also rode High Brows Nurse, who earned over $134,445. Nurse Rey, dam to Dual Rey, earned over $65,586 in the cutting horse show pen while ridden by Lloyd. During these years, Lloyd won a total of more than $588,445 in the cutting pen.
