An annual CRRA membership can be purchased at any of the sanctioned CRRA ranch ropings held throughout the year with all forms and waivers completed at that time. A single CRRA membership is $25. A family CRRA membership is $25 each for the first two family members. Additional family members are persons who reside in the same household and are a minor in the year the membership is being taken out. Ex. the cost of a membership for two parents and one child will amount to $55.

Payment can be in the form of cash, cheque or e-transfer to canadianranchroping@gmail.com.If the membership is purchased prior to a roping a membership form must be completed and scanned and emailed to canadianranchroping@gmail.com.

Along with the completed membership form, we also require the insurance waiver to be signed and sent along either by mail or scanned and emailed to canadianranchroping@gmail.com. This form is with the membership form on Facebook under “files” “2024 CRRA Membership Form”.

As of the 2021 roping year an individual or family Saskatchewan Horse Federation membership (or equivalent provincial membership) is required to participate in a CRRA-sanctioned roping in addition to the CRRA membership, please go to https://saskhorse.ca/individaul-membership where you will find all the information for purchasing a SHF membership. Please help our registration volunteers and purchase the SHF membership prior to a roping.

Note: if you have a current membership from another province’s federation (for our Alberta, B.C. or Manitoba members) it can be used in place of a SHF membership and must be indicated on forms where required.

All CRRA members are required to purchase an individual membership from their provincial horse federation to participate in a CRRA sanctioned roping. If you live in Saskatchewan please go to the Saskatchewan Horse Federation website saskhorse.ca to purchase a membership. If you live in any other province B.C., Alberta, Manitoba etc you must purchase your provincial individual membership from your provincial equine organization. When completing a CRRA membership you will need to indicate your home province’s individual membership number.

You will need to contact the CRRA at least 30 days prior to the roping for approval of your roping dates. Please email us at canadianranchroping@gmail.com or contact our President or Board of Directors. Please find their contact information at the bottom of each page.

Once the dates are confirmed a Host Package will be forwarded to you. This package includes information of what you will need to do before, during and after the roping including Covid-19 related information.

The following are included in a Host package. The history of the CRRA, senior judges guidelines, timer information, CRRA current rules, membership information with forms/waivers, scorecard, entry information, payout schedule with examples, roping payout per show, what to do with the paperwork and money once the show is finished plus a checklist for preparations required prior to the roping. There will be information and checklists for Covid-19 Saskatchewan Health Authority rules and regulations that will need to be followed before, during, and after the show if applicable at the time of the roping.

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.

When you arrive at the roping and have parked and taken care of your horse please find the folks who are taking entries. 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
