ABOUT GRACE AND GRIT
Founded in 2020, Grace & Grit emerged with the goal of fostering a fun and friendly summer series competition enriched with added money and prizes. The event quickly exceeded expectations, drawing competitors from across the province and creating lasting connections within the barrel racing community.
​
In 2021, we elevated the experience by introducing a 5D slot race, consistently awarding over $40,000 in cash prizes and valuable rewards to riders of all levels. This year, we proudly brought a Futurity/Derby event to Saskatchewan, focused on horses aged 4-8. This addition supports the Canadian Barrel Futurities’ mission to promote quality Futurities & Derbies in the region, offering trainers and racers meaningful, high-level competition.
​
As the Futurity/Derby takes center stage, Grace & Grit remains dedicated to inclusivity. Our open, youth, and peewee races ensure that participants of all ages and skill levels can join in the excitement and camaraderie. Looking ahead, we’re thrilled to continue the Futurity and Derby events into 2025, further enhancing the opportunities for riders and supporting the growth of our community.
