Want to get your Horse experience in showing without the high costs and course time limitations of traditional Horse Shows? The Benchmark Program could be a solution for you. Here is some explaination from Founder Linda Allen’s site  about this new Horse Show Rally Venue. Great idea Linda!

Today, we have a new set of circumstances impacting our sport.  The absolute necessity of show ring mileage in the development of sale-able horses, together with the growing cost of obtaining that mileage has become a dilemma for American owners and trainers.   Developing our own horses, therefore, is a bit of a lost art. The biggest handicap in bringing young horses along is the lack of opportunity to get the youngsters an appropriate, cost effective, introduction to the showing world.  

The Big event at the Equine Affaire every year is the Extreme Cowboy Race invented by Horse trainer Craig Cameron. It’s full of thrills and spills as this award winning video of the event at the LA Equine Affaire shows. It’s all about “speed with control” Cameron explains as we watch non-stop  action. Equine Affaire Extreme Cowboy Race Video

 Equine Affaire Extreme Cowboy Race Video from Horse2Heart.com

The light hearted Craig Cameron is one of the original equine clinicians. He is a native Texan, a life-long rancher, working cowboy and horse trainer. This genuine cowboy has done it all; from cow-calf stock operations to bull riding and hay-baling, even capturing wild cattle for fellow ranchers. He will be bringing his Extreme Cowboy Race to the Equine Affaire at the Fairplex in Pomona, California.

 This internationally renowned animal communicator’s childhood dream was to become a fairy godmother to animals. Her dream came true and she has already worked with over 60,000 animals. Her clients spread accross the United States as well as Europe. I’ve had the pleasure of receiving Lydia at my ranch for many years. The whole neighborhood comes running when they hear she is coming to town.

The city of Lexington was largely defined by the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in 2010, so it proved a fitting setting to crown the 2010 USEF Horse of the Year. And the winner couldn’t be more all-American.
