Welcome to  the home of NBHA MT.  We are pleased to present this new website along with many new faces that will be leading our Montana Chapter.

THE TEAM

                             NBHA MT State Director:
                                            Wendy McCaffree
At the conclusion of her 1st year as Montana State NBHA Director, Wendy McCaffree has seen her vision for NBHA MT come together.  That  included bringing every corner of Montana together to participate in family oriented barrel racing where members feel at home in a fun and friendly environment.  The 2010 Montana State NBHA Championships was rated a huge success with increased attendance and an overall increase in membership. 
As our membership continues to increase, we are happy to be adding Southern Alberta as a new District.  Dist 9 will be having barrel races in the Cardston area and Paige Leavitt will serve as  the Dist 9 Director.  Paige brings a lot of experience with her not only as a competitor but a producer as well.  It is the hope of Rick Hardy, Natl NBHA Membership Coordinator and McCaffree, that by the inclusion of Alberta, it will bring with it a renewed interest in NBHA in Western Canada and hopefully one day Alberta will be able to stand alone as their own province.  But until then, Montana is glad to have them, as there is already a significant number of MT NBHA members residing in provinces north of the Montana border.  We also welcome the re-creation of District 6 in West Central MT.
As the State Director, Wendy will continue striving to recruit, coordinate and supervise District Directors, coordinate a State Finals with assistance from District Directors and members, as well as  keep a current and accurate financial statement open to the membership.

A Little about Wendy McCaffree: Wendy brings many years of experience with her from competing to producing.  She was bitten by the barrel racing bug at a young age starting out with Little Britches rodeos and continued up the ladder progressing through high school rodeo, college rodeo, regional rodeo associations, and earning her WPRA card just out of college.  In recent years her focus has been participation in Divisional  4D barrel racing associations.



NBHA MT District Directors:
District 1:  Niki Obie
   District 2: Carrie Smith
District 3:  Tana Counts
District 4: Janas Strauser
District 5:  Sheri Yeager
District 6:
District 8:  Jean Joseph
District 9: Paige Leavitt

District Directors have an obligation to their District to coordinate 
no less than 6 or more than 15 barrel races within the season, keep an up to date points
record available to members at each race, and recruit membership.  The map above will give you  
  an idea of the Districts that you may declare  membership in.  An NBHA membership  allows
  you to  compete at any NBHA sanctioned barrel race.  You may only earn points in the District you
        declare your membership in and may only participate in one State Finals nationwide.
Please contact a District Director for a membership application or go online to

With the best interest of our members in mind, NBHA MT has recently done some redistricting that you will notice on the map.  District 2 and 7 have been eliminated at this time and incorporated into existing districts to better serve the members.  As we continue to grow and establish more NBHA prime and co-sanction barrel races across the entire state, we will again consider
re-instating these former Districts.
