"The UBRA is simple... You compete. You earn points. You win titles. You pick your award." 2 From the Manager 3 Our Members & Producers 4 Special Events 5 Rates/Sizes 6 Other Opportunities/Form 1
The UBRA is an organization, which was established in 2002 with the mission to work with producers, contestants and sponsors to offer a unique awards program that would benefit everyone involved. Guidelines are set up for producers to help conduct their events. Particular rules for each particular event are left to the discretion of each producer/arena to allow the UBRA to promote a variety of events that members may attend. We know our audience; we share their passion for the Western lifestyle and the fast-paced sport of barrel racing in particular. The fact that each member of our staff is involved in the barrel racing industry allows us to relate well to our members, producers and sponsors. We feature all kinds of events large and small, so our members can have an opportunity to earn points at all levels of competition from play days to large added money barrel races. In addition to our annual UBRA World Show printed program, we produce additional original content on our website, UBRA.org. The UBRA enews helps us feature coverage of more events than ever before. The digital offerings interface nicely with content on BarrelHorseHotline.com, allowing us to circulate the news using an effective multi-platform approach. As a growing voice in our industry, the United Barrel Racing Association welcomes the opportunity to work with you. Sincerely, Jessica Beauvais, Manger United Barrel Racing Association 2
