BARREL RACE

Click to Play

Barrel racing is a form of rodeo event in which a horse and rider attempt to complete a pattern around preset barrels in the fastest time. It is primarily a rodeo event for women.

The sport in itself consists of horse and rider combining the horse's athletic ability and the superb horsemanship skills of the riders in order to safely and successfully maneuver their horses in a clover leaf pattern around three barrels (typically three fifty-five gallon metal barrels, but as long as the size and shape of the barrel is accurate, different material can be used.) placed in a triangle in the center of an arena.
