Barrel racing is a rodeo event where the fastest time wins! The rider's skill and horse's athletic ability are tested as they race through a cloverleaf pattern around a set of three barrels in an arena. It is a sport where control is as important as speed to stay on course and avoid bumping into or knocking over barrels. There is a max time of 60 seconds with professional competitors aiming to complete the pattern in 17 seconds or less!
