barrel race
Cloverleaf riding competition
A barrel race is a rodeo event in which a horse and rider navigate a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels at high speed, competing for the fastest time.
Knocking over a barrel adds penalty seconds.
The event showcases horsemanship and the agility of specially trained quarter horses.
As a verb, to barrel race is to compete in this event: She's been barrel racing since she was twelve.
