There is fun to be had by all when competing in the Iowa NBHA! Divided into five competition districts, the association boasts nearly 600 members. Many families compete alongside each other every weekend including several  grandparents with their grandchildren.

Each District holds up to 18 shows each year. Several of these shows are co-sanctioned between the districts and feature added money and prizes like saddles and buckles. Points accumulated at these and single district events earn members year-end awards in their District.
