JUNIOR BARREL RACIN'
This event is open to both boys and girls who are testing thier horse riding skills against each other.
When it comes to teh importance of rider and horse working as a team, there is nothing like barrel racing.
Things to look for:
Three barrels are set up in a cloverleaf pattern. The horse and rider race around the barrels completing the pattern. A good barrel horse require the spirit and speed of a quarter horse and the agility of a polo pony.
Scoring:
The best overall time wins. A five-second penalty is assessed for each barrel knocked down and the rider is disqualified if the pattern is run incorrectly.
