Michigan Ropers Association Inc. was founded in 1949 with the purpose of preserving the art and skill of handling stock by means of a lariat or rope while on horseback. It is our aim to advance the sport to a well-organized and equally well-conducted contest that is family-oriented, and that everyone can enjoy. The MRA would like to grow the sport of roping, and to ensure that every contestant desiring to learn to rope, or to rope in a contest, has the best opportunity for success, and a fair and equal chance. The MRA proudly focuses on the development of their youth, and on recruiting new members from all disciplines. Each spring the MRA promotes a beginner roping school to grow the sport. You can also find many of our higher numbered members competing in PRCA, IPRA, and Mid-States Rodeos around the country. The MRA has historically followed the USTRC numbering system closely, but its board of directors rates all members annually to ensure that our divisions fit our organization, and that all members have a place to rope and be competitive.
