Corrida de Argolinha, or Ringlet's Race, is a competition on horseback often played at festivals or organized gatherings. The sport is heavily influenced by it's history and has not changed much since the middle ages, only differing in the intentions for playing. Two teams of six are distinguished by difference in attire, meant to imitate the historical groups that influenced the game. Corrida de Argolinha has a couple variations, but in one of the most common ways of playing it, each person from one team will be paired off with someone from the opposite team, and each pair will race individually. The goal of the game is to ride your horse along a road or field, and in approaching a small overhanging ring to catch it on a spear. The spears can vary in length, but the width must be the right size to skewer the ring. People are scored individually for their performance, and when everybody has raced, everyone's scores are tallied up and the team with the most collective points wins the game.
