Contestants vie for the fastest time in running a triangular, cloverleaf pattern around three barrels. The horses and rider are allowed a running start and time begins and ends upon crossing a visible starting line. A 5-second penalty is assessed for knocking over a barrel. The pattern can be started either from the left or right, and contestants that go off the prescribed course are disqualified.
