    The beginning of each year brings self-promises of improving our riding, learning a new discipline, honing our horsemanship, finding a new trainer, or cleaning out the tack room. If any of these New Year’s resolutions sound familiar, mark your calendar for the Ultimate Riding Resolutions Workshop and Used Tack Swap, February 2, 2019 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds Community Arena. This event will feature mini-instructional workshops by four of the top trainers in the region that specialize in extreme cowboy racing and obstacle challenges.

    Mid-day, a judging workshop will provide insight to what judges are looking for when scoring a rider’s performance for particular types of obstacles along with valuable tips about how you can increase your scores.

    Reserve a table to find a new home for those gently used items that have been cluttering up your tack room or come and shop for that perfect piece of equipment you’ve been searching for. At the end of the day, we’ll pit our featured trainers head-to-head in a fast-paced match race to demonstrate the excitement, finesse and horsemanship that is the Ultimate Horsemens Challenge Association.  So, fast track your goals in February and join us for this surefire remedy for the winter blues.

    NOTE: This is a spectator event, not a riding event, please don't plan on bringing your horses.

    The Burlington event is a fundraiser for the UHCA and as such we need volunteers. We are asking for each member to volunteer to help with 1 class throughout the weekend. If every member agrees to work one class, we would have plenty of help. Please consider which class would work best for you and email us back so we can get you on the schedule. Both days will run the normal go order for both courses. We are willing to work around all riders and what divisions they ride in.

    We appreciate all of our members, their willingness to help out and their flexibility. Please join us for what will be a great weekend at Burlington.

    Due to rain and ground conditions, Saddle and Sirloin has decided to cancel their event for this weekend. The race at Saddle and Sirloin cannot be rescheduled for the 2018 season. 
    The UHCA board has decided that in order to get all 8 races in this year,the Burlington event on September 22 and 23 will become a two day UHCA event. We will run separate races on Saturday and Sunday with both races earning year end points for UHCA. EXCA points will still be offered for both days as well, but we will be running complete UHCA rules for both days.
