PBRIP Update:
The $39 enrollment fee for the Paint Barrel Racing Incentive Program (PBRIP) has been eliminated immediately. This means PBRIP exhibitors no longer need to pay an annual enrollment fee to participate. As long as you have a current APHA membership and a fast Paint Horse, you’re all set to participate and earn cash!
Entry Fees for PBRIP Sidepots: The entry fee for each PBRIP sidepot will be $100 per entry per race.
To 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 an APHA Membership – Both the exhibitor and the horse owner (if different) must have a current APHA membership to be eligible for PBRIP.
