WPRA Justin Best Footing Award Winners

Every year the WPRA membership recognizes rodeo committees that put forth an extra effort to ensure their rodeo has the safest most consistent ground possible for barrel racing. The WPRA is grateful to our partners at Justin Boots who created this program in the early 1990s. They sponsor the Justin Best Footing Award which allows us to provide well deserved recognition, cash and awards to the winning committees.


The WPRA and Justin Boot Company are proud to partner in bringing this recognition to you in the
following manner:

• 1st place winners receive a plaque, $1,000 cash award and a Justin certificate redeemable for
one pair of Justin smooth ostrich or lizard boots.
• 2nd place winners receive a plaque and a $500 cash award.
• 3rd place winners receive a plaque and a $350 cash award.
• Most Improved winners receive a plaque.
