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.

- This was amended from the minimum 14 day requirement put in place during Covid

Due to the rising costs of hosting a jackpot and difference of facility fees, the board has ruled to remove the minimum 70% payout of all fees collected. New rule as follows:
Motion: Hosts must provide the hold back/or entry fee breakdown amount on their jackpot sanction form.
- If you do not provide either the hold back percentage or a break down of fees your event will not be approved.
- Please try to keep your hold back within reason
New Secretary/Treasurer - October 27, 2022
The MBRA Board would like to welcome Madison Leonard as our new Secretary/Treasurer for the 2023 and 2024 Season. Maddy has been part of the MBRA board since the spring of 2021 and we think she will be a great fit for this position. She comes to us from the Dugald area with a Masters in Agribusiness. Many of you would have met her when you signed in at the MBRA Finals, as Maddy and Aisha Janssen looked after a majority of the sign in duties.
