NBHA RULEBOOK
The purpose of
the National Barrel Horse Association is to provide Barrel Racers with
an international organization that will promote the sport of barrel
racing and its growth.
Our goals are to
increase the number of participants, improve the quality of shows and
enhance the image of barrel racing.
These rules have
been adopted to address the needs of NBHA members, promote fairness,
eliminate confusion, and assist show organizers.
INTRODUCTION
These Rules
cannot cover all possible situations that may arise during a show, nor
can they regulate all administrative questions. Where cases are not
precisely regulated by an Rule, it should be possible to reach a
reasonable decision by looking at the Rule book and the Director’s
Handbook. The Rules assume that NBHA Directors, Show Management and
Headquarters staff have the necessary competence, sound judgement and
absolute objectivity. Too detailed a rule might deprive the official
of his/her freedom of judgement and thus prevent him/her from finding
the solution to a problem dictated by fairness, logic and special
factors.
