Thursday Video: Throwback to Reba McEntire Barrel Racing
We can’t get enough of this 2006 video of Reba McEntire on the barrel pattern.
McEntire wasn’t actually competing — and don’t be fooled, she can lay down a faster pattern than that. Rumor has it she was hosting the rodeo and the crowd talked her into running barrels. Talk about a legend!
But we shouldn’t be surprised. Before she was a household name in country music, Reba McEntire was chasing cans, and living the rodeo life. Born in Oklahoma, Reba grew up in a ranching family where horses weren’t a hobby — they were part of everyday life. She competed as a barrel racer long before she was the Queen of Country Music, and those roots gave her the grit, drive, and authenticity that still shine through in her music today.
We’ve always loved Reba for her vocals and down-to-earth spirit, but seeing her in the saddle reminds us that she’s not just singing about country life—she lived it. Watching her guide a horse around the barrels with confidence and fire is proof that the same determination that took her to the top of the charts was forged in dusty arenas. That’s why fans can’t get enough of her: she’s as real as it gets, whether she’s belting a ballad or running home in a barrel pattern.
