You do a zigzag pattern around 6 poles the objective is to get the fastest time and if you knock down a pole you add 5 seconds to your time. Just like barrels you can go either left or right. You have to go straight the turn around the first pole then zigzag around them and then when you get around the last pole you come back and zigzag and then you go around the last pole and run home. whip kick and spur!

What does bending mean in horse riding?
Bending is the flexing of the horse around a certain point. That point can be the rider's leg, poles as in the sport of pole bending, barrels for barrel racing, ect. The point being, the horse's back and neck should be limber enough to be able to bend comfortably and is essential to higher levels of riding. I use flexing as a warmup and cooldown and it will reduce the chance of injury in the same way runners stretch before a marathon.

Are Morgan horses used in gaming?
By gaming I assume this means gymkana (barrel racing, pole bending, ect). A well bred Morgan can do many things. There is no reason that they couldn't be gymkana horses. There are 2 different types of Morgans. The first is the one that make the best show horses. They are fancy and have a distinct way moving. The second group are what is called "foundation" Morgans. This second group is much closer to what the breed was when Justin Morgan developed to breed in the 1800's. They are also being crossed with different breeds such as the Quarter Horse.
