Round goes the barrel, quick as a thought,
Horse says, “Hang on—this turn’s getting hot!”
Dust writes circles across the ground,
While the crowd holds its breath at every bound.
The rider steers, the horse complies
A partnership built on speed and sharp eyes.
The barrel stood still, proud and able,
Yet somehow became the fastest thing in the stable.
