2025 RECAP

In June the Pacific Northwest FCA Outdoors hosted the first ever FCA Reined Cowhorse camp. We were blessed to have for our clinicians, five of the most accomplished competitors in the sport, including the top female in the sport Sarah Dawson, the face of the sport Nick Dowers, and former World‘s Greatest Horseman champion Shane Steffen among others. 

The 53 middle school, high school, and college athletes received highest level instruction in the NRCHA (National Reined Cow Horse Association) disciplines of cutting, reigning, and down the fence. In addition 18 auditors (non riding participants) joined the event. With the 60 plus volunteers, required, and the 110 horses and 150 head of cattle. This is likely the largest equine event ever undertaken by FCA anywhere around the world. 

Not only were our participants blessed to learn from some of the best in the sport, but they got to hear how Jesus has been riding with our champions throughout their careers, and how they have learned to give Him the GLORY through the highs and lows. Their humble and transparent sharing was used by the Holy Spirit to move 7 to make decisions for Christ! One of which was a fellow clinician that at the final chapel testified that he had been freed from his plan to commit suicide when he returned home. As a result of his powerful and emotional testimony 10 more gave their hearts to Christ!

This was the most challenging undertaking I have ever attempted but in the end God showed up as He always does and lives and eternal destinies were forever changed.
