CCXCR SHOWDOWN
The CCXCR Showdown is a full weekend of horses, obstacles, community and good country fun — designed for everyone, whether you’re brand new, bringing the kids, or ready to test your skills. Saturday – Sessions & Show Night Saturday runs in 2-hour riding sessions, limited to 10 riders per session to keep things relaxed, safe, and supportive.

Saturday night we roll into:
• Live demos

• Music
• Family-friendly atmosphere
• Food, laughs, and good company
Come to ride, come to watch, or just come to soak it all in — everyone is welcome.
