The pattern for barrel racing is simple, and goes like this:
1. leave the starting gate and head towards the far side of the barrel to the right.
2. go around the barrel to the right and head up the the right side of the barrel that was to the left of the starting gate.
3. go around this barrel to the left, then head up to the right side of the point of the triangle and go around to the left.
4. race to the finish line!
Barrel racing got its start with the Women's Professional Rodeo Association in 1948, in Texas. The course was originally a figure-eight pattern, but was replaced with the more difficult clover leaf pattern.
