Lindy Burch began blazing trails in 1980 when she captured the National Cutting Horse Association Open Futurity Championship with a record 225.5 points on Miss Royal Mahogany. The victory was unprecedented in more ways than one, as she was the first woman in the sport's history to win the prestigious event. In 1979, Lindy became the first woman to claim the NCHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion title. She remains the only woman to have earned that distinction to this day.
In addition, she is one of only six open riders that have earned back-to-back NCHA Open Futurity titles in the 50-year history of the event. In 1995 while piloting her homegrown mare Shesa Smarty Lena, Lindy became the first rider to win all four go-rounds of the NCHA Open World Finals. Three years later, she and Bet Yer Blue Boons, another mare she raised and trained, set a record score of 233 at the NCHA Open World Finals, and it is the highest score ever posted at an NCHA event. In 2000 she rode Bet Yer Blue Boons to the NCHA Open World Championship and is the only woman who has ever won it.
Lindy was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame, one of the many honors she has received, as well as inclusion in the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame, the NCHA Members Hall of Fame, the PCCHA Members Hall of Fame, the PCCHA Trainers Award, and the PCCHA Ed Smith Memorial Sportsmanship Award.
