Clinics and Workshops

Extreme Cowboy Racing is a timed event meant to challenge the teamwork of horse and rider over a variety of obstacles. Although called a "race", judging is also based on the level of horsemanship displayed. It has divisions for all ages and abilities, so can be enjoyed by many. In addition to more ordinary trail obstacles like bridges, "cowboy curtains" or gates, more advanced courses may include jumps, ponying a second horse, a bareback segment, cow sorting or shooting an arrow from the saddle! Our 2-day clinic will be an introduction to the sport geared toward more entry-level obstacles and developing the partnership to attempt new things. The first day will be a clinic on doing the individual obstacles; the second will be a mock competition. Riders should expect to attend the first day if they plan to participate on the second day.

Our clinician Sara Tyree has been a competitor at the world level, starting her experience with the sport some years ago at age 16. She owns and operates Sara Tyree Performance Horses out of El Paso, TX.

This weekend workshop is limited to 10 riders. In keeping with our mission to support our equine community, NNMHA is sponsoring a substantial portion of the usual cost and offering this 2-day workshop for $100 per rider and free for auditors. Payment is required at registration for riders. Because of our insurance, RIDERS must be NNMHA members. Both riders and auditors will be required to sign a liability form.
