The Pride of the Prairie - Manitoba Bred Barrel Race! Exclusively for horses bred in Manitoba. It's a standalone race - not a sidepot like last year. We are looking to promote the breeders in Manitoba through this race and reward barrel racers for running Manitoba bred horses.
A "breeder" is defined as the individual or ranch listed as 'breeder' on the horse's registration papers and must be located as residing in Manitoba. The "breeder" is the owner of the service stallion at time of service.
While all Manitoba bred horses will be eligible to enter the Pride of the Prairie, some of those contestants will be eligible for the Breeder’s Bonus Cash if their horse was bred by any off our breeder sponsors!
These Manitoba breeders have contributed to the Breeder's Bonus Cash pot to which the fastest eligible competitor in each division will win a Bonus Cash cheque!
