Manitoba Barrel Racing Association
The Manitoba Barrel Racing Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the sport of barrel racing in the province of Manitoba. Divisional (3D and 4D) barrel racing events give riders and barrel horses of different ability and skill levels the opportunity to compete in three or four divisions based on their running times.
Members must meet the minimum attendance requirement at MBRA sanctioned or co-sanctioned races to qualify for the Annual Manitoba Barrel Racing Finals. Thanks to generous barrel racing sponsor support, the MBRA adds money and prizes to each division within the Open, Youth and Select classes at the year-end finals.
