If you have had an opportunity to watch Craig Cameron's Extreme Cowboy Race on RFDTV, then you have a pretty good idea of what's going to happen. Riders will be required to complete a series of maneuvers and obstacles. The entire course is timed. Judging Criteria is: Horsemanship, Cadence, Control, Horse's Attitude and Overall Execution. The course will cover approximately 8 acres. A total of 14 obstacles and 4 maneuvers will be required for completion. The course is designed to test all skill levels. Although the course is timed, it is often the horse and rider team who takes the course in a steady, calculated approach that comes out "on top". We are looking for the Supreme Working Horse and Rider Team. The course will be posted at the show office on May 29th at 2:00pm. You will be able to walk the course (without your horse) on Friday May 30th from 2:30 - 3:30pm and on Saturday May 31st and Sunday June 1st until 7:00am. Youth riders will start the three day event on Friday May 30th at 4:00pm. Adult riders will then go on to work through the course on Saturday May 31st and Sunday June 1st starting at 8:30 am. Riders will have three Divisions to choose from: o Youth: Ages 14 through 18 years old-age based on birth date as of January 1st 2008 o Non-Pro: Person who has not taken remuneration for training horses o Professional: Person who has taken remuneration for training horses Non-Pro and Pro Divisions will receive up to 50% of "money paid in" subject to number of entries in each class. The 50% will be split 60/40 between first and second place riders in each division. Youth Division will receive tack value calculated same as cash prizes in Pro and Non-Pro Division. Due to the number of riders expressing an interest in the competition and time limitations of only one horse and rider team on course at anyone time, entry is by pre-registration only. Teams will be accepted on a first come first serve basis. The cut-off date for registration is May 15, 2008 at 5:00pm. All entry fees and stall rental fees will be due no later than May 15th at 5:00pm. If fees are not received by the cut off date and time, the next rider and horse team in line will be given the opportunity to fill your open spot. Each registration form will be assigned a number in the order it is received. You will be contacted with the number you have been given and an estimated time when you will ride the course.
