Goal for our new District TX11: To produce and promote the equine sport of Barrel Racing in the southwest Texas counties along the border. An exciting new barrelracing club/series for youth, open and Senior/over 50 riders in Del Rio and surrounding areas. There will be a minimum of six (6) barrelraces and a maximum of eighteen (18) barrelraces scheduled from March 8th to December 13th for the 20
14 season. The newly organzied NBHA District TX11 encompasses ten southwest Texas counties: Bandera, Edwards, Frio, Kinney, Maverick, Medina, Real, Zavala, and Val Verde. An additiional goal for members of TX11 is to have safe and fun arenas to run our barrel horses in each county within the district. If you know of a super safe gound/arena that is available in your county/town, please let me know, and we will work together to produce a barrelrace in your town within NBHA TX11. About NBHA:
