The extreme part of


our club name is often mis- understood. We are all proud to have consistently exhibited that we hold the standard of horsemanship to extreme horsemanship. The family connection is ex- treme and the camaraderie can and has been extreme. The extreme laughter, mem- ories and goodwill is unlike any other. We truly are a sport


that welcomes all levels of riders and types of horses. Our sport encourages great horsemanship thru working with your mount to com-


and The Capital Fair. The winners of the Intermediate, Non-Pro and Pro Divisions have also each received a ballot to win a saddle from
