    Extreme Cowboy Race Results

     February 7th, 2010

    The Extreme Cowboy Race at Equine Affaire in Pomona was won by horse trainer Robin Bond from Vista. Second place was Rick Hoffman on his horse Leroy. The Extreme Cowboy Race course was a technical challenge of broken jumps, log pulls and of course bareback riding. Craig Cameron added a new obstacle: a very long heavy pole. The rider needed to pick up one end and then ride in a circle one direction then change directions and ride a circle the other way while holding one end of the pole. The individual riders put their own spin on this with variations of backing up and cantering. Another monster obstacle was a Liverpool full of white packing peanuts. Everyone managed it, but most of the horses needed some convincing by their riders.

    Bill Cameron rides the last night of the Extreme Cowboy Association World Championship for the highest score of the final round.

    When it comes to training horses this tall Hollywood cowboy makes it look so easy.

    “The fact that my last name is Cameron and the horse’s name is I’ll Cowboy Up was a sign to me to pursue Craig Cameron’s Extreme Cowboy Race. I have never had so much fun in my life with a horse as I have at the EXCA Events. With all my experience I think I was born for this event,” says seasoned Horseman Bill Cameron. Born into the horse business, Bill started as a child working alongside his father, premier Hollywood movie horse trainer, Denzel Cameron. Known worldwide and highly respected, Denzel was the man behind many animal actors. For over 25 years his family has resided in Rosamond California preparing and training Liberty Horses and Driving Horses.


    The Pure Spanish Horse

    You’ve seen him in museums, represented in marble statues and dark, dramatic oils. His proud, heavy neck arches with nobility, and his mane and tail cascade toward the ground. He bears riders whose names are fixtures in human history: El Cid, Hannibal and William the Conqueror. And there are many more.

    He was the archetype for the wing-borne Pegasus of Greek myth many centuries ago, and even appeared as a mount in the Homeric ballads. His equine legacy knows no living match—he was present during the fall of Troy, stood by as the Greeks created the cornerstone of our civilization, and served the Romans in their conquest of Europe.

    Canada. Famous for its beautiful scenery, inviting cities and friendly people. And now, thanks to the efforts of Canadian horsemen, the Great White North is also being thought of as a land of great horses.

    Unbeknownst to many horse lovers, Canada is the home of several distinct horse types. Because Canadians tend to be  modest people, they haven’t been quick to let the rest of the world know about their equine treasures. But as horse lovers around the globe slowly discover the well-kept equine secrets of the Canucks, they are coming to appreciate these amazing animals for their unique histories and talents.

    Only 3,000 of them can be found in the United States, yet they are of a breed well known in the horse world. That breed is the Icelandic Horse, a hardy horse with a history that is unique among equines.

    It all began in 874 A.D. The Vikings were in the process of invading Europe, bringing their horses with them. Norse settlers that came to Iceland during this time had horses that traced back to the Viking explorers. These horses were unique because of their tendency to gait in addition to their ability to walk, trot and canter.

    Imagine the grace, beauty and athleticism of a magnificent sport horse, performing Grand Prix dressage or soaring over massive fences. Now add to that picture an explosive pattern of spots and a romantic European past, and viola: You have the classic version of the Knabstrupper.

    The history of the Knabstrupper begins in Ice Age Europe, when spotted horses first appeared in cave drawings in Lascaux and Peche-Merle, France. Cromagnon humans painted these animals with colors gleaned from the earth, and seemed to hold them in high regard. Stone Age humans hunted horses for their food, and spotted horses seemed to be of particular interest to those who painted the cave walls.

    The year was 1945, and Allied bombs were raining down on Vienna. While civilians and German troops alike took cover, a man named Colonel Alois Podhajsky worried only for the safety of his horses.

    Afraid his valuable Lipizzan stallions would be lost, Podhajsky, Master of the famed Spanish Riding School in Vienna, hurriedly arranged for the horses to be taken 200 miles away by train, to a town called St. Martins, in upper Austria. German forces had already taken control of the mares and foals two years earlier, and had shipped them to the German Remount Depot in Hostau, Czechoslovakia.

    Once upon a time, the Paint Horse was an outsider, a horse with no name. The result of Quarter Horse breedings, the birth of a Paint foal was considered an unfortunate occurrence, something Quarter Horse breeders dreaded. These wildly marked horses were thought of as anomalies, unfortunate mistakes in an attempt to create a fine, solid-colored horse. Simply put, Paints were outcasts.

    Times have changed–a lot. Today, the Paint Horse is the second most popular breed in the United States, its numbers paling only in comparison to that of its mother breed, the American Quarter Horse.


    Caballo Bonito: The Peruvian Horse

    Flowing manes, luxurious tails and an effortless gait. Combine these attributes with a romantic history and a willing spirit, and you have the Peruvian Horse.

    The Peruvian Horse has a history that goes back to the time of the Conquistadors. The Spaniards who conquered the Peruvian Incas in the 1500s brought horses with them of Barb and Spanish Jennett blood. The Barb was hardy and trainable, while the Spanish Jennet had a ground-covering, four-beat gait.

    When settlers began coming from Spain to Peru, they brought more horses of Iberian breeding with them. These horses mixed with the Barb and the Jennett to create the animal we now know of today as the Peruvian Horse.
