2020 Finals RACE EXCA Single POINTS! ADDED MONEY TO ALL DIVISIONS AT ECA FINALS!
Please Note that as of this year all riders planning to race at ECA events that are sanctioned by EXCA must have an EXCA membership (Cost is $45 USD). Since all riders will be required to be EXCA members this year there will be no extra cost to submit points for EXCA tracking, however race fees are being increased by $7.50 per division to account for added EXCA administrative fees this year. EXCA memberships can be purchased at https://extremecowboyassociation.com/.
All ECA members that have attended at least one ECA race in 2020 are eligible to race at the 2020 ECA finals on September 27.

Year end prizes and awards, however, will only be given to competitors that have participated in five or more ECA races in 2020.

We present our EXCA SANCTIONED RACE
Divisions are as follows, and will be run in the following order on race day:
Young Guns
Any rider between the ages of 7-11 is eligible to compete in the Young Guns Division. Young Guns riders are allowed to ride “up” into the Youth Division with parental permission
Novice -18 and Older -
The Novice Division is designed for base level riders who have developed only the basic riding skills, such as loping, backing and side passing, etc. and have had little or no success competing in other equestrian events. The Novice Division is considered an entry level division that will allow the rider to develop confidence and additional horsemanship skills to allow the rider to move into the Intermediate Division. The purpose of the Novice Division is to provide a division that is fair to all base level riders. Novice riders are allowed to ride "up" into higher Divisions of competition.
