Stay on top of all upcoming rodeos, entry and call in dates, and other deadlines.
You must have an active NHSRA membership in order to enter a sanctioned AHSRA rodeo. There are two ways to enter.
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 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.
Entry fees are paid at each rodeo when you arrive.
Entry fees for the 2023-2024 season are as follows:
Barrels and Poles I $25
Timed Stock events and Junior High Rough Stock I $35
High School Rough Stock I $60
At each rodeo, contestant need to hand in a Parental Release Form with their parent’s signature.
Twice per year, contestants need to hand in a Principal’s Signature Form to the rodeo office. (Homeschooled students need to hand in a HomeSchool form.)
Once at the beginning of the Fall Season
Once at the beginning of the Spring Season
All turnouts must be sent to Jamie Thorsteinson at ahsraturnout@gmail.com. DO NOT TEXT OR CALL.
Entry Fees – If you turnout after entries close, you must pay your entry fees.
Turnout Fines – Turnouts that are received less than 48 hours before the start of the first performance are subject to a fine of $60 per day (this does not include vet / medical releases). Turnouts that are submitted more than 48 hours prior to start of rodeo are not subject to fines. A turnout for bereavement is still considered a turnout – all fees and fines apply.
Vet Release – A vet note must be provided by Wednesday at 5:00pm following the rodeo that you vetted out. The vet note must state that the horse could not compete.
Medical Release – you need a note to medical back in if it was an injury. If it was the flu or illness then you need a doctor’s note stating you were too ill to compete. Medical notes must also be in by the Wednesday at 5:00pm following the rodeo. A doctor’s note is required in order to return to competition.

Entries for the fall season are opening soon and the AHSRA is using a new entry system called EQuest Event. This system is built and supported by the same people who created the NHSRA Membership system.
Before you can enter rodeos, you will need to: 1. Create your EQuest Event account and 2. Link it to your NHSRA profile (You will need your NHSRA username and password so you can link it to your EQuest account.)
See this website article for full details including support videos and step-by-step instructions. https://albertahsrodeo.com/our-entry-system-has-changed/
This information has been shared directly to all members via text message and email as well.
Since 1972 the Alberta High School Rodeo Association has been providing opportunities for youth in the sport of rodeo.
