What is the Saskatchewan Breeders Barrel Bonanza?
The SBRA promotes Barrel Racing of all ages and abilities through its 3D handicap system. We have promoted Barrel Horses and Barrel Racers on an individual basis however we wanted to expand our promotion to include Saskatchewan Breeders, primarily those that breed speed horses as well as those who breed performance horses in the various disciplines.
