Barrel Racing at the 71st Four States Fair and Rodeo was exciting every night of the rodeo. The horse and rider team race around the barrels hoping not to knock them down while trying for the shortest time.

Want to learn more about rodeos? Here are some terms that you may have never heard of. I found this Rodeo Terminology website while preparing my stories about the rodeo.

Spurs - The spurs used in PRCA rodeos have dulled rowels that do not penetrate the animals’ skin, which is several times thicker than human skin; see the PRCA and Livestock Welfare chapter for more information.
Average - Usually used to describe the aggregate score for a contestant who competed in more than one round, e.g., “He had times of 9.3 and 9.8 seconds in the two rounds and placed third in the average with 19.1 seconds on two head”
