A keyhole race is a speed event commonly seen at equestrian events and gymkhanas, in which the horse and rider team with the fastest time in completing the event wins. Horses running this event must have speed, but also the agility to stop quickly in full stride, turn, and bolt directly back into a run.
The first thing to do is to start training the pattern. Begin by walking to the first barrel. About ten feet away from the barrel, stop and back up a couple steps. You must turn wide around the barrel so that when you are ready to run the pattern, your horse has enough room to turn the barrel without knocking it over. Repeat this for every barrel.
