Be sure you understand what is involved in being a member of high school rodeo. This is especially important for new members or anyone who is new to rodeo.
We encourage every AHSRA member to sell one book of tickets (Total value $500) for our Truck and Trailer raffle. Raffle proceeds are extremely important to the continued operations of AHSRA – funds are used towards scholarship payouts to graduates, and to help put on our provincial finals.
Each district has a volunteer ticket coordinator, who works with the Provincial Raffle Coordinator, Terrie Barkshire to distribute and track raffle tickets.
Failure to hand in your raffle tickets by April 1st will result in disqualification from the Provincial Finals. See more details on our Raffle page.
Full Western attire is mandatory and must be worn one hour prior to rodeo time until one hour after the rodeo has ended.
This includes a western hat, long sleeved shirt (must be tucked in, wrist length sleeved shirt, with collar and cuffs – no sweatshirts, T-shirts or pullover sweaters allowed), western boots, and western trousers at all times during a performance. This includes, all competition arenas, chute areas, stock working areas, any contestant in any seating area, whether competing or not.
Shirt sleeves must be rolled down. The only exception to this rule will be in bareback riding and bull riding; a rider may roll up sleeves as necessary to eliminate either a hang up or to accommodate necessary wrapping and/or support for the elbow. After competition, contestant must adhere to attire rules.
Back numbers must also be worn at all times while you are in the community where the current rodeo is being held.
You may make photocopies of your back number and laminate them. Members are encouraged to have several back numbers, one for each jacket. The NHSRA issued back number is the number you should wear in the arena. See our Rules page for more details.
Your district rodeo schedule is posted on your district page. You can also check the calendar, which shows online entry dates, call in entry dates.
All entries can be done online through the EQuest Event system. If you miss online entries, or need to make a change to your online entry, you must do that by phone on call in night. See more details on our Entries Information page.
Members are required to have parental consent to participate in each rodeo. This form must be handed in at each rodeo, and must be signed by a parent.
Members are also required to hand in a Principal’s Signature Form (Or Homeschool Form) twice per year – once at the beginning of the fall and again before the spring season.
Report cards must be uploaded by February 1st to remain in good standing.
See more details on the Become a Member page.
All members of the AHSRA are required to follow a very specific set of deadlines. Failure to meet some deadlines may result in not being allowed to compete at rodeos or the provincial finals. See details on our Deadlines Page.
Let us know if you have any questions or concerns, or if you’re interested in sponsoring our provincial Junior High or High School finals.

Next up is Corbin Anderson! 🇨🇦🎯
Rayelle Rose caught up with one of our Junior High National Finals light rifle competitors to hear how his week has been going.
Corbin might be a little disappointed with how his competition turned out, but he isn’t letting that take away from the experience. He’s having a great time at Nationals, making memories, and enjoying every opportunity that comes with competing on the national stage.
That’s the attitude we love to see.
Keep your eye on the target, Corbin! Team Alberta is proud of you and cheering you on every step of the way.
Hear it straight from Corbin!

Next up is Layton Klassen! 🇨🇦🤠
Rayelle Rose caught up with Layton to hear how his Junior High National Finals week has been going.
Layton put together a quick chute dogging run, but unfortunately picked up a +10. That’s rodeo.
What stood out even more than the run, though, was the smile on his face. Layton is absolutely beaming about his National Finals experience, and you can tell just how much this week means to him.
These are the kinds of interviews that make us so proud of Team Alberta. It’s about more than the results—it’s about the attitude, the memories, and the opportunity to compete on one of rodeo’s biggest stages.
Hear it straight from Layton!
Keep enjoying every minute, Layton! Team Alberta is cheering you on! ❤️🤍❤️

We’ve got a new reporter! 🎤🤠🇨🇦
With Rayelle officially losing her voice, we couldn’t leave anyone out. So Ruby Rose stepped in behind the camera to fill the big shoes of both Steve Bishell and Rayelle, making sure Team Alberta’s stories kept coming.
This time, Ruby caught up with our D1 saddle bronc rider, Will Norby.
Will might be a man of few words, but he says he’s having a pretty good time at Nationals—and sometimes that’s all that needs to be said.
Thanks, Ruby, for stepping up and keeping the interviews rolling, and good luck to Will as he continues his National Finals experience!
Hear it straight from Will.

Next up is our D1 goat tier, Jorja Griffith! 🇨🇦🤠
Rayelle Rose caught up with Jorja to hear how her Junior High National Finals week has been going.
Jorja tied her goat, but unfortunately it got up. Tough luck for our cowgirl! The best part? She’s still smiling, laughing, and enjoying every minute of the experience. That’s the kind of attitude that makes Team Alberta so much fun to cheer for.
And one more update… Rayelle’s voice is officially on its last legs. 😂 We may have broken her after all these interviews! Thanks for sticking with us and enjoying the captions while she powers through.
Keep smiling, Jorja! Team Alberta is cheering you on! ❤️🤍❤️
