National Little Britches Rodeo Association

The National Little Britches Rodeo (NLBRA) is one of the oldest youth based rodeo organizations. It was founded in 1952, and sanctions rodeos in over 33 states. NLBRA allows children ages 5 to 18 to compete in a variety of different rodeo events. Its championship event is the National Little Britches Finals Rodeo. The NLBRA headquarters is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. The NLBRA was founded in Littleton, Colorado. The Finals were held in Pueblo, Colorado, but moved to the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in 2016.

The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) partners with the NLBRA to offer rodeo camps and safety clinics for contestants. The ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy opened up a National Little Britches Rodeo Association exhibit September 20, 2015. In December 2013, Hope Counts was adopted as the Crisis Fund of the NLBRA.

The NLBRA is featured on a national television western lifestyle show that airs on RFD-TV titled Little Britches Rodeo. They also have a spin-off travel show titled Little Britches on the Road.

The NLBRA provides three different age groups. Little Wrangler is a coed age group of children between the ages of 5 and 8. Kids ages 9–13 are junior contestants. Senior contestants are ages 14 through 18. Both the junior and senior divisions are broken down into boys and girls events. There are also coed events for the junior and senior categories.

In addition there are awards based up senior and junior all-around cowgirl and all-around cowboy.

A number of notable Pro Rodeo cowboys got their start in Little Britches rodeo.
