The Northwest Barrel Horse Association is a sanctioning organization that serves the Northwest Region of the United States. It is divided into "districts" based on location. It is not necessary to be a part of a district but you must be an NWBHA member and compete in 3 NWBHA Prime or co-sanctioned races to be eligible for finals. If there is an "NWBHA fee" at a race you attend, that fee must be paid for that race to count as one of your qualifying runs. Once you have ran in 3 races, you can take as many horses as you want to the finals. The membership year runs October 1 to September 30th. Youth age group is 17 and under, Senior is 45 and older. Peewee age is 9 and under and do not have to pay memberships for finals.
