Back by popular demand, the Barrels 4 Bucks barrel racing competition returns to Moab. Held annually in multiple locations, this event brings adrenaline-pumping horse racing and family-friendly fun to the high desert. Join us September 27–28th of 2025 for the next event in Moab!
On both fall dates, riders charge around a clover-leaf barrel pattern at thrilling speeds during open and divisional races. Slot races—fast-paced, high-stakes showdowns—add nocturnal excitement to select evenings, where the top riders contend for jackpot payouts. Youth riders hop into the arena for peewee races, and families can watch exhibitions and enjoy live entertainment, food vendors, and community atmosphere throughout the weekend.
Perfect for spectators or competitors, this fall event offers everything from competitive racing to wholesome rodeo fun, Moab?style.
