HLBRA - Where Legends Begin
The Hawaiʻi Little Britches Rodeo Association (HLBRA) is a proud affiliate of the National Little Britches Rodeo Association, providing young riders in Hawaii with the opportunity to develop their rodeo skills and compete in a supportive, family-oriented environment. Designed for youth ages 5 to 18, HLBRA hosts 12 rodeos per season, offering keiki (children), teens, and emerging adults a chance to test their abilities in a range of traditional rodeo disciplines. Rodeos are open to contestants island-wide.
HLBRA's events feature exciting competitions such as barrel racing, pole bending, roping, goat tying, and more, all tailored to different age divisions to ensure fairness and safety. Whether participants are beginners or experienced riders, HLBRA welcomes all young athletes with a passion for rodeo and offers them a platform to grow both in skill and character.
Beyond the rodeo arena, HLBRA is committed to fostering life skills that extend far beyond the sport. We emphasize values such as responsibility, sportsmanship, perseverance, and respect for animals and the land. By engaging in HLBRA events, youth not only hone their athletic talents but also build lifelong friendships and a deeper connection to Hawaii’s paniolo heritage.
At HLBRA, family involvement is key to every event, and we encourage parents and siblings to participate as volunteers and cheerleaders, creating a strong sense of ‘ohana (family) and community. Our goal is to nurture the next generation of Hawaii’s paniolo while ensuring that each young rider feels supported, encouraged, and celebrated.
For more information about HLBRA events, membership, and how to get involved, please visit our Events Calendar or use the chat/contact us feature in this site. Come be a part of the Hawaii Little Britches Rodeo family and watch your keiki grow in skill, confidence, and aloha!

Ways to Help
Sponsor a Saddle
When you sponsor a saddle, you are providing one of the most prized possessions of a cowboy or cowgirl. The saddle is the ultimate marker of achievement. Like the buckle, the saddle is earned. Five saddles will be issued to the winning contestant for each age division, based upon an accumulation of points.
The saddle is a symbol of victory from a season-long of rodeo comprised of hard work, dedication, (sometimes unforeseen setbacks), and perseverance. The saddles are listed here by Title. Please click on the saddles you’d like to sponsor and indicate whether or not you would be interested in presenting the saddle at our year-end awards ceremony as an official saddle sponsor.

Sponsor a Buckle
When you sponsor a year-end buckle, you are providing one of the most meaningful markers of achievement for the cowboy or cowgirl. Like the saddle, the buckle is earned. It is issued to the winning contestant for that event, based upon an accumulation of points. The buckle is a symbol of victory from a season-long of rodeo with hard work, dedication, (sometimes unforeseen setbacks), and perseverance.
The buckles are listed here by event. In the next step, you will have the opportunity to choose the buckle(s) you’d like to sponsor and indicate whether or not you would be interested in presenting the buckle at our year-end awards ceremony as the official buckle sponsor.
