The rider rides towards the bucket on the centre line, collects a ball either mounted or dismounted, rides to the cone at the changeover end and places the ball on top of the cone. The rider then collects the second ball from the bucket mounted or dismounted and rides to cross the Start/Finish carrying it.

If the bucket is knocked over, it must be replaced on its mark upright with enough water left in it to float a ball.

If whilst placing the ball on the cone, the ball drops to the ground then the ball must have made contact with the cone whilst the ball was in the hand of the rider for the rider to complete the action dismounted.

Race Set Up:

1 bucket half filled with water on the centre line with 2 tennis balls floating in it, and 1 cone on the 3 metre mark at the changeover end, offset between the bending pole lines.
