Welcome to the Extreme Cowboy Association 

We are excited about 2010 and the many fun filled and exciting Extreme Cowboy Racing events that are on the schedule.  The formation of EXCA has been an thrilling and challenging adventure! Many people have worked tirelessly to create an association that you will be proud to tell your friends about.  This is the latest issue of your monthly newsletter, The Brave Horse.  

You will receive it each month electronically around the middle of the month.  The Brave Horse will be full of interesting stories, EXCA event results, point standings, human interest stories about EXCA members and Tips and Tales from our founder, Craig Cameron.  We encourage you to communicate your suggestions for stories and ideas that will make  The Brave Horse fun, better and more informative.  

The Brave Horse the best newsletter in the equine world.  Please forward your ideas and suggestions to Bill Hull at bhextremecowboy@gmail.com.

2010 What a Ride!

As 2010 draws to a close, it is time to reflect on what a great year it has been for EXCA and our sport, Extreme Cowboy Racing.  2010 was a year of growth:  We had 103 sanctioned events, a 39% increase over 2009; there were 48 EXCA Clubs compared to 23 in 2009; our neighboring country to the north, Canada, joined EXCA and became the 17^th EXCA Region; the 2010 World Championship had 140 contestants, a 36 % increase over 2009.

While reflecting on the 2010 season and enjoying the memories, the time has come to be moving forward for the 2011 season.  The EXCA Rulebook has had some modifications and revisions that will help refine our great sport.  The 2011 schedule is now on the website.  Be sure to renew your EXCA Club so your events can be included on the schedule as soon as possible!

We have extended the deadline to renew your EXCA Membership until January 31^st and get the discounted rate of $55.00, a savings of $10.

Exciting News for 2011!

We are excited and proud to announce that the 2011 EXCA World Championship will be held November 4 -6, 2011 at the famous Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma!  The Lazy E is proud of the fact that they are the largest indoor rodeo facility in the world.  The indoor arena is 440 feet long and 160 feet wide.  In addition to the indoor arena, the Lazy E has the option for us to hold a portion of the 2011 EXCA World Championship outside on their property if weather is cooperative.  That will truly be an eleventh hour decision based on the weather forecast.

We are currently finalizing arrangements with host hotels and will let you know the details on rates and reservations in the next issue of Brave Horse.

Be sure to take a look at their website, www.lazye.com and you will see why we are excited and proud to be going to the Lazy E!

Happy Holidays to each of you! Keep riding hard and stay safe this Holiday Season!
