About the IB When we talk about education and what it means, what we really want to know is how to instil in our students the knowledge that will make them better learners and better people. How can we be sure that we send them off into life with the skills they really need to grow and develop in a successful, happy way?
Gymkhana is a term used in the United Kingdom, east coast of the United States, and other English-speaking nations to describe an equestrian event consisting of speed pattern racing and timed games for riders on horses.owever, 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), flag race, and pole bending.
Like barrel racing, pole bending is another common gymkhana game. As with other rodeo or gymkhana games, pole bending is a race so is a timed event. The object is to run the pattern correctly as quickly as possible, without knocking down any of the poles. The rider must train the horse to obey rein and leg aids for the best results.
