NBHA PEE WEE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
We would like to thank Katie Ward for coordinating our Pee Wee program this year and coming up with a great awards program.
Pee Wee State Championship
The Pee Wees will run all three days at State to compete for the title of Pee Wee State Champion! Saddles will be awarded to the first in each of three divisions, plus a fourth saddle will be awarded to the fastest leadline contestant .
Thanks to the generosity and hard work of Jeff and Katie Ward, D2 Trailer Sales, Tractor Dean, West Coast Footings, Circle N Stables, and others, awards will be presented to all the Pee Wees and this year, there is NO ENTRY FEE.
You must be 7 years or younger as of January 1, 2009 to compete in the PeeWee class and your lifetime cash winnings cannot be more than $100.00. This class is intended to give the kids who have no chance at winning in the Youth a place to compete – this is the guideline given to us by our sponsors and we must respect it.
Remember, HELMETS ARE MANDATORY in the Pee Wee class. You will not be allowed to run without a helmet in this class –you will be stopped at the gate and you will not be given a refund. If you need a helmet, there will be one at the gate that you may borrow free of charge.

2. Lifetime cash winnings in barrel racing must be less than $100.00
3. You must wear a helmet.

The fastest leadline participant in the leadline average will receive a saddle in the awards.
