GF Productions Barrel Races wouldn’t be possible without the incredible businesses that continue to invest in our events and the barrel racers of SW MO!

Wall Equipment, LLC has played a huge role in helping us offer awards and phenomenal ground with the Wall Equipment Super Stars Arena Groomer.

FYNX Performance helps us award our competitors with innovative equine wellness and recovery products, including therapy sheets and red-light therapy wraps.

Bar MB Services, LLC and Bryce Ash put in countless hours behind the scenes watering, preparing and maintaining the ground so our horses and riders have the best possible conditions.

These sponsors don’t simply put their names on a banner. They show up, pitch in and help us create better events for our barrel racing community. Please help us thank them and support the businesses that support GF Productions!

What an incredible night for Kelly Hastings! Civil War Arena

Because of this amazing barrel racing community, we were able to raise over 2400 for Kelly.

Bar MB Services, LLC worked around 20 hours to water and prepare the arena - and the barrel racers showed up!

Raylee Virtue and NP Moon Sun And Sky claimed the fastest time of the night with a 14.683. Congratulations to Raylee and all of the D winners and competitors!

A huge thank you to our generous sponsors and donors who helped make this benefit possible:

Thank you to Civil War Arena for welcoming us and to everyone who entered, donated, volunteered, or simply came out to show their support. Every entry, donation and helping hand contributed to the success of this benefit.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped us show Kelly just how many people are standing behind him!
