The pattern in barrel racing involves running a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels. The rider and horse start by running down to the first barrel, which is on the left side, then turn sharply around it and head to the second barrel, which is on the right side. The horse and rider then turn sharply around the second barrel and head to the third barrel, which is on the left side. They turn sharply around the third barrel and run back to the starting line.
