Flag racing This event is set on a simple course of two barrels and a pole. Atop each barrel is a bucket filled with rabbit feed that keeps a flag standing up. The rider must make the horse pass as close to the barrels as possible so he or she can pick up the flag from the first barrel and stick it in the second barrel. If bucket, barrel or pole is knocked over the rider will be penalized or disqualified. Again the fastest time wins. Sounds simple, but try doing this at 30 miles per hour on the back of a horse.
