Rodeo Rider

Competitive barrel racing at the Lil'wat Nation Open Rodeo is one of the rodeo’s fastest and most popular events. It is an event primarily for women. Skilled riders on fast athletic horses blaze through a clover leaf pattern around three barrels. A five-second penalty is assessed for each barrel that is tipped over, effectively knocking the rider out of the money.
