I failed 3 times on the last gate. My best run I had over 20s left when I hit the gate but it failed me about 2 strides from the gate. Here is the trick and it finally hit me. The 12th gate, you MUST be on the path, dead center and pointed straight at Eogar or it will fail.

'You have my thanks for delivering those steeds. I believe you have learned a great deal about handling yourself in the saddle.
'I have a course that I ride to clear my head and uncloud my thoughts...few have completed it besides myself. Around Hengstacer, I have placed twelve gates. My farmhand Cam was able to complete the course in a little over two minutes...if you can complete the course faster than he has, I will count you a skilled rider. Simply ride through each of the gates on your mount before racing off to the next one. Be careful not to miss any gates! You will have to start over if you run out of time, and be aware that I have a number of jumps and water pits along the trail.
'When you are ready to start, you can use the Bloodbay steeds. I will start the count as soon as you mount up, so be ready.'
Background
Éogar, satisfied with your work for him, is ready to complete your training.
Objectives
Objective 1
Talk to Eogar
Éogar is at Hengstacer, north of Bree-town.
You have completed the course and should now speak with Éogar.
Notes
You must finish the course (and talk to Eogar) in 2 minutes or under. This is fairly easy to do if you hug the fence and jump over a few fences. Just make sure to go through every gate.
Completing this quest gives you the characteristic: Riding and allows you to ride a horse.
If you run out of time, you can retry the quest immediately, however if you cancel the quest, there is a 20 minute cooldown.

It should be noted that the course must be run in a counter-clockwise direction, i.e. exit the farm from the south gate. If you try running it clockwise you will fail. I spent an hour trying to complete this quest and I couldn't figure out why it kept failing until I tried running it in the other direction.

I rode the horsey three times with that 2 minute time limit. It would have been easier if I wasnt on my laptop at work and the game time was at night, in-game. I failed the 12 gate ride three times and decided to just walk it out on foot, in order to gain a good understanding of the lay of the land before giving it another go on horseback. well; as I walked through the number 12 gate after about 4 minutes it indicated success for the quest. I made a bug report so its prolly gonna be fixed on next patch.

Also a cool thing is you don't have to stay on the path. Just make sure to get through the gate and it will count. So play it dirty and cut across!
Also if you fail this there is a 20 m cool down before you can try again.

It seems if you cancel the quest, there is a 20min countdown. But if you fail by just running out of time, you can try again immediately.
Thanks for the fix. The quest has been updated.

This quest is fairly straightforward, although the timing doesn't allow any room for a miscalculation or misstep in the circuit. The bloodbay steed you use is in the stable behind you when you face Eogar. The gates are poles with banners across the top. Follow the path south from the farm and then east, north, and back to the south. There are several obstacles to avoid or jump.
