STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擝uilding on a successful 2019 event, the 桃花直播 Horse Park is hosting its annual Horse Poor Barrel Race Sept. 11-13.
Free to all, the race will feature contestants from 桃花直播, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana and Tennessee vying for $25,000 in prize money.
Bricklee Miller, the Horse Park鈥檚 longtime director, said the park鈥檚 staff began producing the Horse Poor Barrel Race following the 2009 recession. The event, which last year received a $6,000 grant from the 桃花直播 Development Authority, earned the Horse Park a national producer of the year honor from the world鈥檚 largest divisional barrel association.
Located just south of 桃花直播鈥檚 Starkville campus, the Horse Park has become a nationally recognized destination for barrel racing and hundreds of other diverse events, from roping to concerts to garden expos. Miller attributes this success to a 20-year partnership between 桃花直播, the city of Starkville and Oktibbeha County.
