Barrel Racing South Africa hosted an event at Pienaardam.
Barrel racing is a fast-paced rodeo event where a horse and rider navigate a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels in an arena, aiming for the fastest time. It is a timed speed event, often measured in hundredths of a second, where knocking over a barrel results in a five-second penalty.

The results are:
