2026-2027 MSLBRA Rodeo Schedule

How to enter:

2026-2027 RODEO ENTRIES!

If you have not created a HORSESPOT username or password, you will need to do that first. You will enter each rodeo separately. (So, you will complete this process twice if you are entering both Saturday and Sunday’s rodeo.) Simply search MSLBRA under ‘find your shows’ on Horsespot to enter.

Pay close attention to divisions. The system shows all events, not just the events you are eligible for.

***Payments***   You must submit payment to enter.  When you enter on HorseSpot and check out, it will process your payment.  You will receive a confirmation email and receipt. Since payment is required to enter, entries will now be open until the Friday one week before the rodeo at 9PM.  NO LATE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED. 

For example - December rodeo entries will be open until Friday, November 27 at 9PM. No late entries will be accepted. 

Draw out - if you need to draw out, you may do so without cause before Friday at 9PM when entries close and receive full refund.  If you need to draw out after Friday at 9PM, a vet or medical excuse is required and entry and stock fees will be refunded. Office and convenience fees will not be refunded. If you draw out with a vet or medical excuse after  the Thursday, two days prior to the rodeo at noon, entry fees will be refunded but stock, office and convenience fees will not.

Not a current NLBRA member? You can still enter! Simply text your entries to 601-507-7246. There is a $25 non-member fee per rodeo. This fee goes directly to the National Office to cover your insurance for that rodeo.
