The Powder
Basin Equestrian Association has built a cross-country jumping
course on 80 acres of rolling prairie, just 1/2 mile east of the
fairgrounds
(CAM-PLEX), east of the city of
Gillette. Known as Camplex Equestrian Park, the course
includes 5 levels (heights) of jumps, including a water complex.
The land is owned by Campbell County and is used by recreational walkers
and horseback riders from the surrounding area. To the east of the
course is a remote control airfield and a motor-cross track.
No motorized vehicles are
allowed on the course.
PBEA maintains the jumps and tracks on the course and riders are
encouraged to use proper safety equipment when schooling the course.
There are 5 different levels of jumps - Elementary (18"), Beginner
Novice (2'6'), Novice (2'11"), Training (3'3") and Preliminary (3'7").
