The following are included in a Host package.

If you have decided to attend a CRRA-sanctioned roping you must confirm your attendance with the host at least 6 days prior to the roping. This allows the host to know how many participants there will be and make the proper arrangements for the cattle that will be used.

You will need your Saskatchewan Horse Federation membership number, entry fees (which are shown in the schedule portion of our website), and CRRA membership fees if you are not currently a member. If you do not have the SHF membership or provincial equivalent (www.saskhorse.ca) please purchase prior to the roping to expedite your registration. There will be forms and waivers to sign and questions to answer.

There are Open and Novice groups. If you are unsure what group to enter please let us know and one of our experienced judges will help place you in the right group. There will be a short introduction and discussion of the rules prior to the roping beginning. . After that….. enjoy the day!

The 2024 CRRA Finals will be held in September 14 & 15, 2024 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan at the Moose Jaw Exhibition Golden Mile Arena.

The format for this roping will follow along the lines of last year’s CRRA Finals.

To qualify for the Finals a member must attend 2 ropings in 2024. This could mean for example if it was a 2-day roping on a weekend at you attended both that would be considered 2 ropings as each day is a separate roping. If you attended one day of a 2-day roping and then later another day of a 2-day roping you would have then been at 2 ropings and qualify for the Finals.

The 2024 Finals will be updated on our “schedule” in July 2024. You will be able to find all the information about the roping there when updated. If you have further questions please send an email to canadianranchroping@gmail.com
