Barrel Racing Explained * Tahitian Noni® Equine Essentials™ Powers Winners

What exactly is Barrel Racing?

Barrel Racing is a timed event where a rider runs a course marked by barrels usually in an arena. The event is a test of rider agility and equine skill. Barrel racing is highly competitive as the horses are very fast, highly trained and very aggressive in order to beat the competition. Riding a barrel racing horse in a competition is not for the faint at heart!

In general the pattern at a show must meet the following conditions:

a minimum of 15 feet between each of the first two barrels and the side fence,
a minimum of 30 feet between the third barrel and the back fence,
a minimum of 30 feet between the time line and the first barrel.

Local promoters and show organizers use a barrel pattern that best fits their arena, subject to the above restrictions. Most barrel racing events have various levels from the novice to the seasoned competitor.
