Do they do it different then regular barrels?

Yes, there are two barrel courses set up. One at each end of the arena. The starting line is in the middle of the arena. One horse runs one course and the other runs the other. Whomever crosses the finishing line in the center, is the winner. The winning horse will have to run numerous times, to be the class winner. Same with poles, two set ups, side by side. They also have a rope race. It is like musical chairs. A large cable is strung across the arena at one end, with ropes dangling from it. Riders are at one end. At the go, they race down and have to grab a rope. Only thing is, there is one less rope than riders. They take a rope off after each go until there is a winner. Pretty exciting to watch.
