How to enter:

You must sign up online at nlbra.com under RODEO SIGN UP. If you have not created a username or password, you will need to do that first. Type in the child’s name you are entering. Click ALL RODEOS and then find the rodeo that you want to enter. Our rodeo is listed as MSLBRA. Select all of the events you are entering and click SIGN UP. You will be asked to type in your email for confirmation. Please make sure to do this! You will enter each rodeo separately. (So, you will complete this process twice if you are entering both Saturday and Sunday’s rodeo.) Once the online entries close, (Monday at midnight, two weeks prior to the rodeo) you will receive an email invoice for your entry fees, per contestant. Invoices will be emailed out no later than Wednesday and payment will be due by that Friday.

You may request and pay for RV hookups and stalls on the MSLBRA website under the Stalls/RV tab when they are released for each rodeo.

Entry Deadline: Online entries close on Monday at midnight, two weeks prior to the rodeo. See schedule below for online entry and payment deadline dates.
