By Jessica Hein, PHJ News:
Effective immediately, the Paint Barrel Racing Incentive Program $39 enrollment fee is eliminated. This means PBRIP exhibitors no longer need to pay the annual enrollment fee to participate in APHA’s exclusive barrel racing incentive program—a current APHA membership and a fast Paint Horse are all you need to join in and earn cash!
PBRIP paid out nearly $150,000 in 2024, including more than $63,000 for the PBRIP Sweepstakes at the 2024 APHA World Championship Show. PBRIP events take place around the country; find events near you at pbrip.com.
Participate in PBRIP
- Ride a Paint Horse.
Any registered Paint Horse can participate in PBRIP events. Make sure your horse’s ownership is updated with APHA!
- Purchase your APHA Membership.
The exhibitor and the horse owner (if different) must have a current APHA membership before you are eligible for PBRIP.
- Compete for PBRIP Horse of the Year & Cash Awards.
PBRIP Horse of the Year is awarded to the Paint that earns the most money from all approved PBRIP events during the competition year. The winning owner receives a custom trophy buckle and cash bonus. PBRIP sidepots are offered and distributed by individual event producers.
Remember
- No World Show qualification is required to compete in any event, including the PBRIP Sweepstakes. The World Show pre-entry deadline is May 15, but entries are accepted until 5 p.m. the day before the event. More info: apha.com/worldshow
- To be eligible for the PBRIP Sweepstakes Futurity, horses cannot compete or earn money before November 15 prior to their futurity year (for the 2025 PBRIP Futurity, that is November 15, 2024).
