The Ballarat showgrounds have been moved to Mt Rowan (now renamed the Ballarat Equestrian Centre), and it is being developed as an Equestrian precinct. Because of the extensive developement the grounds have been closed for many months and we are excited to be the first club to use the new grounds at our December Jackpot. Our 2024 season was disrupted by the works at the Ballarat Showgrounds preventing use of the indoor arena. We are looking forward to a very busy 2025. Most of our events will be held at Mt Rowan ( Ballarat Equestrian Centre ), Rosehill Road, Mt Rowan with a club day being held on the Saturday before a Sunday Jackpot.  Our club days are open to members ($20) and non mmembers ($40) to practice, get instruction and learn about the sport of EXCA.

  Hi to all Members. This is great news for DEC. Downunder Extreme Cowboys would like to acknowledge Bannockburn & District Grants in conjunction with Bendigo Bank Bannockburn for the $2000.00 Grant we have been successful in obtaining for the building of obstacles for the club. Bannockburn & District Grants is a not for profit organisation that receives revenue from the Bendigo Bank's linked customers accounts. The Bendigo Bank provides us with funds from its bottom line - not its customers. Local individuals and businesses  can nominate BDG as their community beneficiary when they bank with their local Bendigo Bank branch in Bannockburn. The more customers link their bank accounts to BDG, the more funds are available to invest in the community. These funds come from Bendigo Bank's own profits, not from the individual accounts. Downunder Extreme Cowboys would sincerely like to thank Bannockburn & District Grants. Entries are now open for Nationals on 6th/7th April...
