French term or phrase:Barrage
It seems like it could be something like "exit gate". The rider in a competition may find himself here after a completing a circuit.
Here is the full paragraph:
Si vous êtes au barrage
Suivez tout d’abord les instructions ci-dessus, concernant la sortie de piste.
Ensuite, si votre cheval a eu chaud au premier tour, ne le douchez surtout pas en entier ! Passez simplement une éponge humide aux endroits où il a beaucoup sué, vous le doucherez en entier après le barrage. Enlevez-lui les guêtres et nettoyez-en l’intérieur pour ôter d’éventuels grains de sable irritants, brossez-lui les membres, et remettez-lui les guêtres au moment de le seller pour le barrage. Faites-le boire un peu, mais pas trop.
Si vous n’avez pas le temps d’aller au camion avant le barrage, restez au paddock et alternez le pas et l’arrêt, sans pour autant que votre cheval ne se « refroidisse ». S’il fait froid, pensez à le couvrir pendant cette attente.
Explanation: on second thoughts, it seems this is the
JUMP OFF
if competitors have tied on points in the first round
les coureurs sont autorisés à marcher sur la formation initiale, mais pas au cours BARRAGE (en général le même parcours avec des sauts manquantes, par exemple, 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 au lieu de 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) avant la compétition afin de planifier leur trajet.
ost competitions, riders are allowed to walk the initial course, but not the JUMP-OFF course (usually the same course with missing jumps, e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) before competition to plan their ride. Walking the course before the event is a chance for the rider to walk the lines he or she will have to ride, in order to decide how many strides the horse will need to take between each jump and from which angle.

Explanation: or class, usually in show jumping
It seems to be referring either to the event itself, or an individual class. I.e. cool your horse down etc etc after the first round of the event/class, whilst you are waiting to enter the ring again if you made it to the second round or jump off.

It could be "gate".........you wait at the gate to enter a class etc, but it seems to be referring to the entire process of warming up, waiting, cooling down etc.
I think it is class, i.e. if you're at your class, you can shower him after your class, if you're too far from the trailer before your class etc
