How to Enter

You must have an active NHSRA membership in order to enter a sanctioned AHSRA rodeo. There are two ways to enter. 

ONLINE ENTRIES

Online entries are done through EQuest Events. Entries typically open on Fridays, three (3) weeks prior to each rodeo, and remain open for 11 days.  

Your confirmation number will be stored on your profile.

CALL IN ENTRIES

Call ins are one night only, two Tuesdays before the rodeo date from 6:00 to 10:00 pm. If you need to make changes to your online entry, you must do it on call in night.

No late entries are ever accepted.

TURN OUT POLICY

All turnouts must be sent to Jamie Thorsteinson  at ahsraturnout@gmail.com. DO NOT TEXT OR CALL.
