Craig Cameron Kicks Off 2019 With A Clinic In The Florida Sunshine!

Twenty horse and rider teams, along with several auditors, spent a beautiful day with Craig on January 11th at the Florida Horse Park in Ocala, FL.  The riders not only learned a lot, but laughed a lot!  They worked on horsemanship, obstacles and readied themselves for the upcoming race season.  If you haven't attended a Craig Cameron clinic, you must put it on your bucket list!

Judge's Forum - You asked, the judges answered!

Question: I just joined EXCS online yesterday but have two rule questions. 1. Can you ride in mecate reins and 2. Can you ride your horse in a snaffle bit regardless of age?

Answer: In response to your questions, it's a big YES for both your questions: you may indeed ride in mecate reins , and may show any age of horse in a snaffle bit. You should also be aware that the current rules allow you to ride one or two handed.
