About Us

MBHA District 5 is one of 9 districts within the Montana Barrel Horse Association. District 5 includes members from Flathead, Lincoln, Lake, and Sanders counties. We sanction at least 16 races each season which typically occurs between May and October of each year. Races are held at varying arenas within our district. 

MBHA Dist. 5 members earn points at sanctioned district races and qualify for year-end awards. Members who attend at least half of our district races are eligible for a free district coat/shirt at the end of the year. To qualify for our state MBHA Finals, members must attend at least 4 races each year prior to the event. These races do not have to be in District 5, but must be sanctioned MBHA Races. Please see the MBHA website or Facebook page for approved races throughout the state.

Our goal is to provide a family friendly competitive environment for barrel racers at varying skill levels to succeed and learn from one another.  We compete using a 4-D format in open, youth, and senior divisions. Our youth division is open to members ages 18 and under. The senior division includes members who are at least 50 years old.
