An equestrian event consisting of speed pattern racing and timed games for riders on horses. These events often emphasize children's participation. In most of the western United States, this type of competition is usually called an "O-Mok-See" (also spelled O Mok See or "Omoksee") competition, a term derived from a Native American phrase meaning "games on horseback." However, the term gymkhana is
used in California. Gymkhana and O-Mok-See classes include timed speed events such as barrel racing, keyhole race, keg race (also known as "down and back"), and pole bending. All of these events are designed to display precise, controlled actions and tight teamwork between horse and rider at speed. Please let us know if you are interested in helping this season
