Chris Cox’s two-day horse clinic on Oct. 10-11 at the Northern International Livestock Exposition, is part of his “Ride the Journey Tour.”

As part of the clinic, Cox will work with the NILE raffle horse during portions of his clinic. This year’s horse, donated by Chad and Erin Fink of Hysham, is a 2-year-old sorrel.

“We are very excited to have such a well-known clinician coming to Billings,” stated Heather Pfancook, NILE assistant general manager. “I encourage anyone interested in attending to purchase their tickets in advance.”

Cox, who spent most of his childhood in Australia, began his dream of training horse at the age of 18 when he returned to America. His program proved to be immensely popular with people of all ages and skill levels. Cox is not only a successful clinician; he trains and competes at the highest levels of cutting horse competition. At his ranch he often has more than 20 horses in training even as he juggles his clinic, touring and competition schedules. For more information, visit www.chris-cox.com.
