Welcome to the new Michigan NBHA website!

CAN-AM Super Show Coming To Michigan!
Mark this date in the history books! June 25-27, 2010 Michigan is having a NBHA SUPER SHOW for the first time ever. So lets show the rest of the country that we in Michigan can and will host a GREAT show. Polish up them buckles and put your best boots on to welcome the country to this great state of ours and show'em what we are made of.

Put your thinking hats on and lets come up with some great ideas for all aspects of this show. Let your director know so they can bring your ideas to the director's meeting in March.

NBHA Open and Sr. Worlds has Moved With More Added Money
As you may have heard by now, the NBHA World Show is moving to Perry, GA for 2010. We are pleased to have completed an agreement with the Georgia National Fairgrounds to host our world show October 25-30, 2010. This year at the Youth and Open Worlds we will try a 5D format for the first time. All of the Nationals and Super Shows will remain a 4D format. We will also be increasing the added money to $40,000 at the Open Worlds. This facility has stalls and competition arena all under one roof.

NBHA Michigan's Annual board of Director's Meeting will be March 6, 2010. If you have any suggestions, ideas or concerns to improve barrel racing in Michigan, please let your director or me know so we can put it on the agenda. This meeting is really intense and lengthy se we need an agenda to keep everything running smoothly. Directly following this meeting we will have a show schedule out and any decisions that were voted on that affect the NBHA Michigan membership.

In 2009 Michigan instituted the five (5) show minimum to enter the State Championships and gave a lot of leniency by counting ANY NBHA show in Michigan. In 2010, you must enter five (5) shows IN YOUR DISTRICT to attend the Michigan NBHA State Championships. All district have sufficient number os show to make this minimum. All show after the NBHA State Championships will count towards the 2010 State Championships. The 2 All District shows will count.
