| What is 4D? |
The 4-D format has become quite popular in barrel racing, but if you're new to the sport or haven't shown using the 4-D format,
here's how it works: all riders race in the pattern and four division brackets are determined by the overall fastest time.
The fastest riders make up the first division; riders in the second division are half a second or slower than the overall fastest time;
riders in the third division are one second or slower than the overall fastest time. Riders in the fourth division are two seconds or slower than the overall fastest time.
The 4-D format allows horses and riders of
varying experience levels and abilities to succeed within an appropriate division. |
