This cowgirl races the clock in a barrel race at the rodeo in Wickenberg, Arizona. Barrel racing is a fast action sport at most rodeos that challenge both the horse and the rider sprinting in a clover leaf pattern between three barrels arranged on the rodeo arena floor. In timed rodeo events, the purpose is to make a run as fast as possible, while the time is being clocked either by an electronic eye, (a device using a laser system to record times), or by an arena attendant or judge who manually takes the time using a keen eye and a flag to let a clocker know when to hit the timer stop; though this last method is more commonly seen in local and non-professional events.Modern barrel-racing horses need to not only be fast; but strong, agile and intelligent as well. The strength and agility are needed to maneuver the course in as little distance as possible. A horse that is able to "hug the barrels" as well as maneuver the course quickly and accurately follow commands, will be a horse with consistently low times and usually a winner.
