Pole bending
- Rodeo
- Gymkhana/O-Mok-See
Pole bending is a rodeo timed event that features a horse and one mounted rider, running a weaving or serpentine path around six poles arranged in a line. This event is usually seen in high school rodeos and 4-H events as well as American Quarter Horse Association, Paint, and Appaloosa sanctioned shows as well as at many gymkhana or O-Mok-See events.
Nez Perce Stake Race
The Nez Perce Stake Race is a type of pole bending race which is also a match race: two horses race on identical courses laid out side-by-side, with the loser eliminated and the winner moving up the brackets to race the other winners. It is not a timed event.[1] It is one of five game classes approved for horse club shows by the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC).[2] The ApHC rules state that racing competition is traditional to the Nez Perce Native American people.[1] However, it is unclear if this particular competition is derived from any traditional competition.
