Usually to win you have to be able to jump a single barrel. very good for skill and precision when you jump. il try and get a picture when i have time...exams the next month r 2 :(

Danny does it alot in lessons even with the younger children... its quite funny tho because we hav a practice run first, then start so if u make a mistake in the practice one your still in...and theres a riding school pony who knows the game too well...he clears it the first time then knocks a barrel when it actually starts so that he can just stand and watch! its so funny! i dont think i know any1 able to get him to the second round haha
