PBRIP Barrel Racing Program Modifications
Enrollment in the Paint Barrel Racing Incentive Program—commonly known as PBRIP—is changing from the rider to the horse. Both exhibitor and owner must be current APHA members to participate in the PBRIP sidepots, special cash bonuses available only to PBRIP participants at barrel races around the country.
For existing PBRIP participants, the new rules take effect after your current PBRIP enrollment expires—after that, the horse will be included in the renewal process.
For more information, contact PBRIP Director Karen Utecht at 817-222-6444 or email kutecht@apha.com. Learn more about PBRIP at pbrip.com.
