The Western Select Barrel Race - The Western States Horse Expo is proud to announce that BARREL RACING has been added to the 20th Anniversary celebration Program. Barrel racing is an equestrian event in which a horse and rider attempt to complete a cloverleaf pattern around preset barrels in the fastest time. It requires a highly developed partnership between the horse and the human as the event challenges the horse's athletic ability and the horsemanship skills of a rider, to safely and successfully complete the pattern around three barrels (typically three fifty-five gallon metal or plastic drums) placed in a triangle in the center of an arena. It is a fast, fun and exciting event.



The Western States Horse Expo is partnering with long time barrel race professional and West Coast Barrel Racing Association member Spring Krogue, of Classic Barrel Racing, who has organized and competed in upper level barrel races for many years, to host a top quality, exciting event for the Attendees and race participants alike. Be sure to check out the event website at horsexpo.com/ for the latest details. Do not miss out on this great 20th Anniversary celebration!
