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.

Another day in the books for Team Alberta at the Junior High National Finals Rodeo! 🇨🇦🤠
Every night we think, “There can’t possibly be any more memories to make,” and then the next day proves us wrong.
From the arena to the barns, volleyball, new friendships, and everything in between, these kids are making the most of every minute at the Lazy E. We’re so proud to watch them represent Alberta, and even prouder to see the smiles on their faces while they do it.
Keep soaking it all in, Team Alberta. We’re cheering you on from back home!

This one is a little different. ❤️🇨🇦
Rayelle Rose caught up with Keller Tye, who unfortunately had to medically withdraw from the Junior High National Finals after an accident at home before the trip to Oklahoma.
Keller didn’t have much to say beyond the fact that he’s injured, and Rayelle kept things light as they talked.
We’ve all been wondering how Keller has been doing, so we’re especially thankful that Rayelle took a few minutes to check in with him.
Missing your National Finals is never easy, but if there’s one thing Team Alberta does well, it’s sticking together through the tough moments.
Keller, we’re wishing you a speedy recovery. We know this wasn’t the week you had planned, but Team Alberta is behind you every step of the way.
Hear it straight from Keller.

Next up is Quade Tye! 🇨🇦🤠
Rayelle Rose caught up with our D2 bull rider to see how his Junior High National Finals experience has been going.
We’ve been hearing the rumours… that these bulls might be bringing a little extra this week. Judging by Quade’s reaction, there just might be some truth to it! 😂🐂
One thing’s for sure—Quade is ready to get back after it in Round 2, and Team Alberta will be cheering him on every step of the way.
Hear it straight from Quade!
Good luck in Round 2, Quade! ❤️🤍❤️

Next up is Kirby Richardson! 🇨🇦🤠
Rayelle Rose caught up with Kirby to hear how her Junior High National Finals week has been going.
Kirby admits her first round in the breakaway didn’t quite go the way she had hoped, but that’s rodeo. Her positive attitude hasn’t changed one bit—she’s having a great time at the Lazy E, enjoying the experience, and even the Oklahoma weather!
Hear it straight from Kirby!
Keep smiling, Kirby! Team Alberta is cheering you on all the way. ❤️🤍❤️
