Please fill out both sides of the membership form completely, including your Social Security Number. You must have your signature and both your parents signatures on the front of the application, on the back page (or page 2) you must have your signature and both parent’s signatures notarized (make sure notary writes all names on the PERSONALLY APPEARED line) unless one parent has sole custody (make sure parent writes "Sole Custody" after each signature). Parents need to initial after each of your events. Click on the links at the bottom of this page for examples of both the front and back page of the membership application.

Please be sure to INITIAL THE LINE in the "Important - Please Initial" box. A membership application is not complete without this initial.

Enclose a copy of your birth certificate (1st year members only), your last semester report card . (If you turned in your spring grades at the State Rodeo, I have them.) Membership dues are $146.00 to be paid only by MONEY ORDERS or CASHIER’S CHECKS made out to the MHSRA. DO NOT SEND CASH! Please mail your completed original application to the State Office at 2198 Picture Mountain Lane, Arlee MT 59821. Faxed applications are not acceptable. Original membership applications only accepted.

Important: If your membership is incomplete, it will be returned to you and your eligibility to rodeo will be delayed until all complete and correct originals are at the State Office.

As soon as your membership is in order at the State Office, you are eligible to rodeo. Memberships will be processed beginning August 1st. Your name will be on a membership list that is sent to the Central Entry Office. You will receive your card, rulebook, etc. from the State Office in late September/early October.
