So, as a group we have organized the Southern Colorado Barrel Racing Association. We have taken special care to make this association accessible to a broad group of members. <br><br> Hopefully, we will grow and improve together. Our goal is to organize and raise the level of competition and improve barrel racing as a sport. http://www.scbra.com 1.00
