Category: Barrel Pattern

I know this probably sounds dumb, but how far away are the barrels suppose to be. And the poles too?

A standard barrel pattern in the WPRA is as follows: 60′ from the score line to the 1st and 2nd barrels 90′ from the 1st to the 2nd barrel 105′ from the 1st and 2nd barrels to the 3rd barrel This is a large pattern and many times it won’t fit in smaller arenas.

I know how far apart to set the barrels for standard barral racing. But how far apart do you set them for a 4-H pattern? Just a little need-to-know.

Measurements depend on the arena and the association

We have six horses and a therapeutic riding business in the North Country New York.

I would definitely try to keep my barrels at least 21 feet off the fence for the 1st and 2nd barrels and 35-40 feet for the 3rd barrel.

My daughter, is 9 years old. she is starting 4H this year. I need to know what the dimensions of the barrels are. So I can properly set them up for her to practice.

my grandmother is teaching me to barrel race and she cant remember how far the barrels are suppose to be from each other please write me back and let me know thank you
