ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Barrel racing

Okay kiddo, so barrel racing is a fun rodeo competition where a rider on a horse goes around three barrels as fast as they can. The rider and horse have to work together to turn around each barrel without knocking it over, and they have to do it in a specific order.

The rider has to stay on the horse, which can be pretty hard because they’re going really fast! The horse has to run really fast and turn really quickly, which takes a lot of skill and practice.

There’s also a timer that measures how long it takes for the rider and horse to complete the course. The fastest time wins!

It’s a really exciting event to watch, and it’s also a great way for riders and horses to show off their skills and bond with each other.
