Penn Ohio Barrel Racing Association Rule Book
Our Mission The Penn Ohio Barrel Racing Association was established in 1990 to provide an organization for the barrel racing industry to join together to promote barrel racing as a family sport.
Introduction We cannot make a rule book that could possibly cover all the situations that may arise during a show, nor can they cover all the administrative questions. When a case arrives that is not covered by a rule, it should be possible to reach a reasonable decision by looking at the rule book. The Officers and Directors have the judgment, competence and objectivity to make a sound judgment of the situation.
Show Season The show season will run from January 1st – November 30th. We will take the month of December off.
Rule Changes Any member wishing to nominate a rule to be changed must submit it in writing 30 days prior to the annual November meeting. It must be signed & dated. You must be a current member for the upcoming year for this nomination to be discussed.
November Annual Meeting You must be a current member of the upcoming year to vote. Officers and Directors elections will be held first. Membership will vote on any submitted rule changes. Club will also discuss banquet, awards & any fundraiser ideas.
Membership Fee Individual membership fee - $ 35.00 Family membership fee - $ 55.00
Membership must be turned in before you vote at the annual meeting or before you run your first class the day you want to receive points.
All members are required to get a mandatory sponsorship Individual sponsorship - $ 50.00 Family sponsorship - $ 75.00
Mandatory sponsors are due on or before May 1st of each year. If you are a member and you did not turn in your mandatory sponsorship money you will not receive your points. If you join after May 1st you have 60 days from the date of your membership to turn in your mandatory sponsorship money.
Mandatory sponsorship money will be used for year end awards for the club as a whole. Any additional sponsorship money that you turn in can be applied to the class or division of your choice.
Money The breakdown of approval fees and mandatory sponsors are as follows: 50 % 4-D 5 % Adult 13 % Youth 5 % Masters 5 % Jr. Horse 5 % Pee Wee 5 % Poles 12 % awards banquet and startup cost for the following year.
Year End Awards and Banquet We will have an awards Banquet in January of the following year. *If you are not able to attend you must send a representative to the banquet to pick up your awards. If the awards are left there at the end of the night they become property of the club to be used in a silent auction the next show season. *Saddles will be award to the Champions in every class and all divisions in the Open 4-D class. The club will purchase the saddles for 4D champions. The directors of the other classes will be responsible for raising the money to purchase those champion saddles. Reserve Champions will receive a buckle in every class and all divisions in the Open 4-D. Youth 1D Champion will receive a saddle & all other youth division champions will receive a buckle, unless the youth directors get the other 2 division saddles sponsored. Money for the 4D class will be divided equally between 25 places not per division. A member can only receive awards in the highest placing division, except if you are winning a saddle in a lower division. Show Approval Penn Ohio is a sanctioned club. For each show that Penn Ohio approves a $75.00 fee will be received for each day from the show committee. Penn Ohio can only approve one show per day.
Penn Ohio will not sanction any barrel racing event where the committees prevent a member of Penn Ohio Barrel Racing Association from entering or participating in that event. This rule is not intending to interfere in any respect with the rights of a show committee from ejecting a member of Penn Ohio from the lands owned or lawfully possessed by the show committee, once the member is upon the show committee land for any lawful reason.

Pee Wee Rules For the Pee Wee class only, more than one child can ride the same pony. The children must be from the same family membership. This rule does not apply to the Youth 3-D class. All children will be eligible for yearend awards. Rider must be 10 & under as of Jan. 1st. Pony must be 58” or under, with ½ inch allowance for shoes. Ponies will be measured by the director at the start of the season. Rider must do the pattern by them self to receive points. Knocked barrel = No Time
Point System/Cap Rule Points will be accumulated throughout the season on the rider for all classes except the Jr. Horse, which the points are accumulated on the horse. We will count your highest placing at 50% of the approved shows. Two examples: 46 total approved shows for the year, so we will count 23. 43 total approved shows (which is an odd #) so we would count 21.5. In this case we will round down to 21 total approved shows. Canceled dates will decrease the number of shows which will affect the % for yearend. *Our original point system will stay the same. *The points will drop down and pick up only the Penn Ohio members and skip the non-members down to twenty places. *If you are riding more then one horse you will only receive points on your highest placing horse per division *You will receive all day money won *You have 60 days from the show date to file a grievance with the point secretary about the results & standings *Riders must put their best effort forward to run the pattern as fast as they can or to the best of their ability.
Tie-Breaker If there is a tie for the yearend awards, the tie will be broken by who had the highest places in the division in which they tied.
