MBRA Presents 1st Annual Shleby Lynn Memorial Barrel Race


  • Midland Barrel Racing 21 Bridge Street South Fonda, NY, 12068 United States (map)

Introducing the highly anticipated Shelby Lynn Memorial Barrel race!

To honor Shelby's memory and ensure her legacy lives on, we established the Shelby Lynn Memorial Scholarship, which aims to support academic and arena-related goals of barrel racers and high school rodeo riders. All proceeds from this event will directly contribute to this scholarship fund.

We are currently seeking volunteers for the entire weekend, specifically gate personnel and barrel setters. Our dedicated employees have generously offered their time for this show. If you are interested in volunteering, please send us a private message.

Please note that this show is not included in the season stalls, but if you already have one and would like to keep it while adding this show to your payment plan, we are more than happy to accommodate your request. Just send us a PM!

We will only be holding season stalls for 1 week. After 1/23 they will be open to everyone. Last time we did a show like this we sold 300 stalls in 2 days so we cannot hold season stalls open for longer than that. We will not request any additional money from you up front to add this show if you're simply just tacking it onto a season stall plan. Just please let us know if you want your stall!

Stalls are Thursday to Sunday, so please feel free to arrive early and use our facilities.

We will run this show in the outdoor arena, weather permitting.

We are also seeking sponsors to contribute towards the added money for this show. If you or someone you know is interested in sponsoring, please contact us. We would like to express our immense gratitude to our current sponsors
