The goal of the GTBRA is to offer our members a user friendly online exhibition reservation & entry system. You will be able to pay at the time of submitting your online entry, or when you arrive at the show. All draws, both competition & exhibition, will be published in advance of the race. Competition draw numbers will be text to you, as well as your competition time. This will allow you to arrive at our shows and have all your competition information in hand. If you don’t need to pay, have any questions or need anything of our office staff, you can spend that time with your horse instead of waiting in line.
You may submit your entries online or at the event. All entries are processed on Saddlebook.com. There is a 3% Saddlebook fee on all entries – NO EXCEPTIONS. If you would like to pay your entries with a credit card, there is an additional 3% fee for a total of 6%.
RETURNED CHECK FEE: $50 per check + 3% of your entries collection fee.

Even if you are unable to make it to the office before the last 50 horses, please use our online system to enter the day of the race. We are making every effort possible to eliminate the need for contestants to stand in line at the office to get exhibitions &/or enter.
