In 1996 the ABHA ran the first aged Barrel Racing event it was a Classic. Rick spoke to the girls about running aged events as he could see the potential and market for horses in the sport of barrel racing. The girls were approached by Rick Tranter, a professional reining horse trainer and owner of the new Mavericks Western Wear based in Brisbane.
Together they formed the ABHA, became incorporated and started running divisional jackpot barrel races in the Tamworth region. Jeanette, a former WPRA rookie of the year and NFR Average Champ, approached two friends Shona Tribe & Susan Keenan who she knew were equally as passionate about barrel racing as she was. The Australian Barrel Horse Association Inc was formed in 1996 and was the brainchild of Jeanette Belshir, nee Murray.
