Cantastic Barrel Race

The Oregon Barrel Racing Association (OBRA) hosts a summer-long series of fast-paced barrel racing competitions across Oregon. Riders of all levels—from peewee and youth to open divisions—race around a cloverleaf barrel pattern, testing their speed, agility, and horsemanship. Events take place in venues like Veneta, Madras, Battle Ground, and Redmond, offering spectators a lively and family-friendly Western sports experience. OBRA promotes a strong sense of community and sportsmanship while giving competitors opportunities to earn prizes and qualify for year-end awards. With festive atmospheres, passionate riders, and cheering crowds, each OBRA event is a celebration of skill, tradition, and high-energy action.
