Extreme Cowboy Racing
is coming to Western PA
Extreme Cowboy Racing, the fastest growing equine sport, is coming to Southwestern PA for the first time. The races are timed events exposing the horse and rider from 8 to 13 obstacle/challenges in a designed course. There are multiple divisions based on age and experience from Young Guns to Professional. It is open to horses of all breeds and of any discipline. The goal is for you and your horse to handle the course with confidence and ease. The WPHA, will be hosting three events this year – two EXCA races and a two day clinic to aid in the preparation of horse and rider.
The Extreme Cowboy Association (EXCA) is the original and only recognized association for the sport of Extreme Cowboy Racing. The Extreme Cowboy Race™ was originated by the original extreme cowboy, Craig Cameron. Craig has achieved national recognition and prominence as a true cowboy and is known as the “Cowboy’s Clinician”. A member of the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame and Culver Riding Academy Hall of Fame, he is taking the Extreme Cowboy Challenge across the country with the Extreme Cowboy Association. Craig has received two Telly Awards from RFD TV, one for his “Ride Smart” show and the second award for the “Extreme Cowboy Race”.The EXCA has been specifically designed to invite riders of all levels to participate. EXCA has organized the sport of Extreme Cowboy Racing with an Official EXCA Rulebook to keep competition safe, fun and consistent for everyone. EXCA has developed the official competitive structure for all EXCA members in regions across the United States, Canada and Europe. Each region will offer local and Regional Championship competitions that lead to the EXCA World Championship competition. EXCA is the “Official Governing Body” for the members in the sport of the Extreme Cowboy Racing.
