Who we are

Yucaipa Barrel Racers was established in 2024 and is a part of the California Gymkhana Association (CGA) District 7, We are an equestrian group based in Yucaipa, California. We focus on gymkhana events, which are equestrian competitions emphasizing speed and precision through various timed games on horseback, including barrel racing. These events are designed for riders of all ages and skill levels, promoting horsemanship and sportsmanship within the community.

We host all of our events at the Yucaipa Equestrian Center, a multipurpose equestrian facility located at 13273 California Street in Yucaipa. The center features a large covered main arena, a secondary arena suitable for warm-ups or cattle events, and various amenities to support equestrian activities.
