Current Deep Dixie rules do not state a specific size for the Cloverleaf pattern.
Deep Dixie adheres to Georgia Federaiton Rules. - Page 15 - Patterns for Timed Events # 2 -
"Pattern measurements should all be standard, except the Cloverleaf pattern which has been
amended to be shortened to the same standards as the NBHA pattern. (Revised 2000).
NBHA Rules - SECTION H: BARREL PATTERN
The pattern at an NBHA show must meet the following conditions:
1) a minimum of 15 feet between each of the first two barrels and the side fence. 2) a minimum of 30 feet between the third barrel and the back fence. 3) a minimum of 30 feet between the time line and the first barrel. Local promoters and show organizers should use a barrel pattern that best fits their arena, subject to the above restrictions.
The NBHA Rules are subject to change, at any time, if it is determined that they are not serving the best interest of the NBHA and its members. Any situation not covered under these rules shall be decided by the NBHA District Director, or, in the absence of the District Director, by a county Representative.
Based on these current specifications, a cloverleaf pattern could be different sizes according to the available space in an arena. It is noted, however, that Deep Dixie strives to use the smaller pattern as that will be the pattern used at the state show.
