Next HHBRA Shows in UVALDE on July 10 & 11

  The  Heart of the Hills Barrel Race Association is a non-profit  organization, promoting barrel race and pole bending jackpots for adult  and youth riders in the Hill Country of Texas.  More than half of our  members are under the age of 18, and we consider their education and  development as riders, competitors, and horse owners a fundamental goal  of our organization.  Membership in our organization, and participation  in our shows, is open to any rider, but we particularly focus on  families and youth, and seek to provide a wholesome, friendly and safe  competitive environment, and we value sportsmanship over all. Equine  sports, and rodeo in particular, is a tradition here in Texas, and by  training and nurturing the next generation of riders, we hope to help  keep that tradition alive here in the Hill Country.  Children and  teenagers who rodeo spend a great deal of time and effort in practicing,  training, and caring for their animals.  They learn that succeeding in  their sport requires patience, skill, and determination.  They also  learn valuable lessons about winning, losing, and simply playing the  game, and while they are learning to succeed in the rodeo arena, they  are also learning to succeed in the game of life. We  believe in rewarding these kids for their season of hard work (or hard  knocks!) by providing outstanding year-end awards - trophy saddles,  trophy buckles, tack, jewelry, and other gear.  In our organization, all  youth riders receive an award - whether you finished at the top of your  class, or struggled at the bottom - at HHBRA, you are a winner. 

Non-members are always welcome with no added fees.
