Location: Where ever there's sunshine! | Some ladies an I were discussing...something irrelevent and for some reason I brought up the standard pattern. I suddenly became the biggest idiot known to man. All I heard was, there's no such thing as a standard pattern, patterns are based on the arena size so there's no way to make a "standard" pattern,,yadda yadda yadda...I told them that if I wasn't mistaken ( a little sarcasm) that WPRA most definately had a standard pattern, but they brought up some point that got me wondering. Do they try to find arenas that the standard pattern will fit in or do they use any arena and just have standard pattern measurements in the book? Does that make sense? I've never run WPRA, just hasn't been in the cards for me, but its on my todo list and I'm learning...so...TEACH ME!!!! hahaha |

Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | You are correct the WPRA has a standard pattern. 60' from the first and second barrels to the timer line, 90' between the first and second barrels and 105' feet to the 3rd barrel from the first and second barrel. Out west we have a lot of outdoor arenas big enough to run a standard pattern in. Some indoors big enough as well. If the arena being used isn't big enough, the size of the course will be reduced in porportion to the size of the arena.  |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I don't know if the rules have changed, but when I was going, the first few girls who were up for that rodeo had the responsibility of staking the pattern. If you were lucky, the judge or committee would do it, because left to the girls, they would set it to suit their own horses. |

Yes she did, and a true standard pattern is the only way to compare times between horses since each arena has a different pattern. The ANHA in Waco runs on a standard pattern- the only race around here that does. |

Diamond W used to(maybe still does sometimes) set a standard set
To much beaching from the WW's made them start using a smaller pattern

I thought Alvarado was set on a standard? If it isn't I think it is dang close!
And ditto to Oregon. That is the only way someone can say they hold the world record in barrels (currently held by someone in Brazil). Everything else is an arena record. |

Location: The Oklahoma plains. | I had a question about this topic.
Is it 60 foot from the stakes to the timer stakes and the time sits on the center of that stake?? And do they always consider the barrel to be ON TOP of the center of the stake or is the barrel on the inside of the stake? Just tiny details that I am sure are written but I didn't want to go look for them. |

The measurement is stake to stake. The eye and the barrels are suppose to be centered over the stakes. This is not always how it's done. Some parts of the country set the barrels inside the stake rope. To me this is not correct.
Pendleton rodeo arena doubles as a football field for the school games. So as not to destroy the grass, they set the barrels on the dirt track around the outside of the field. That's the only way to make it somewhat safe to turn on. So its very much larger than a standard pattern. Somewhere I saw what the actual measurements were, but I don't know where that was.  |

Actually, the current record was set in Brazil, but it was an American who did it, riding a son of Dash For Perks. |

It was a mare:

Only reason-I have followed the horse as she is bred similiar to mine. Not that I would make a huge deal out of it (ie if selling my guy)...but I have personally followed because I thought it was cool. |
