Attending the two Horse Expo's (Minnesota and Madison) has led the North Central Region down the trail to success!!! We will be certifying more courses during the summer and plan to have at least one Challenge every month through to the Regional Finals in the fall.
We have also been invited to showcase our North Central Region of the EXCA in the upcoming Minnesota Equifest in October.
We couldn't have had a better turnout at the booth and I want to Thank everyone for their continued support of the North Central Region of EXCA. See you all on the trail! Chris

Krist Hart and I (Chris Vinson) spent the weekend advertising the NCR (North Central Region Obstacle Course Challenges) in Craig Cameron's booth. The original "Extreme Cowboy" and the president of the Extreme Cowboy Association Bill Hull were very gracious and welcoming to us. They support our region of the EXCA by allowing our North Central Region contestants to also compete in the EXCA started by Craig Cameron. RFD-TV has made this new sport very popular and we are excited to have the first course here at 3S-Ranch. We will be working with folks across MN, WI and IA to develop a circuit of courses where we track points, much like the rodeo, with the regional finals to be held at 3S-Ranch this year. Our regional finalist can go compete in Topeka, KS for the EXCA if they so choose. It's a great new opportunity for all us horse folks and I look forward to seeing you all on the "circuit". Chris
