Rounding The Barrel #32

Barrel Racing is a timed event for women riders only in which they compete for the fastest time over a course that includes turns around 3 metal barrels. It has become my second favorite rodeo event, after bull riding, due to the skill of the riders and the incredible athleticism and power of the horses. Another benefit is that it's held later in the afternoon when the light is more directional and warmer.
