The Arkansas Barrel Racing Association is a family oriented organization founded in 1960 and centered around our members' love for their horses and the increasingly popular sport of barrel racing. Each of our members brings a distinct appreciation for barrel racing to our group.

All ages and riding abilities are welcome and the ABRA offers divisions for all riders at every level. Our classes include Lead Line Barrels, Pony Poles & Barrels (10 & under on a pony), Buckaroo Poles & Barrels (13 & under), Junior Poles & Barrels (14-18), & Senior Poles & Barrels (19+). We offer a Novice Barrel Horse Division for the up and coming horses, as well as a Novice Rider class for any age rider who is just starting their barrel racing career. We also have the Junior & Senior Jackpot divisions which are open to members who earn money in any division (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, etc.) of open and youth jackpots, as well as the Junior & Senior Rodeo divisions for money won at ARA, ACA, IPRA, CRRA, CALBRA, WPRA and other rodeo association and timed event rodeos. We also allow Arkansas Horse Show Association and AQHA show points to count toward the year-end standings in their respective events. We pride ourselves on offering a place for everyone in ABRA.
