Carton Race

Skills Needed:  Pick-up and dunking skills.

 


Equipment Required:

  • Four Bending Poles 24 to 30’ apart.
  • Four Plastic Litter Carton
  • One 5-Gallon Water Bucket

Game Setup:

Four bending poles will be placed 24 to 30’ apart centered between lines A and C.  One carton is placed on top of each pole.  The bucket is placed 3 yards beyond the changover line.  Riders number one, two, three and four will be behind line A.


Game Play:

On the signal to start, rider number one collects a carton from any pole, rides to the bucket, drops the carton in the bucket and returns to the start/finish line.  Riders number two, three and four will complete the course in the same manner up and down the arena successively.  The winning team will be the one whose rider number four crosses the finish line first with all four cartons in the bucket.

Poles which are knocked over must be reset before proceeding.

Hint:  Litter can be made from plastic sport drink bottles by cutting the top off so the remaining bottle is 7 ¾” tall.


Correction rules:

  • All eight feet of both ponies must be behind Line A at the changeover between riders.

  • If the rider knocks over a pole or knocks a carton off of a pole, it must be reset before proceeding.


Special Tips:

  • Plastic "sports bottles" have some spring to their base, and dropping a carton into the bucket with too much vigor can result in its bouncing out of the bucket. See dunking tips.
