Athlete Profile: Barrel Racer Cheyenne Wimberley

As the daughter of a barrel racer and a team roper, Cheyenne Wimberley has been riding horses as long as she can remember. She won her first state championship at the age of four. She first qualified for the NFR in 1997, then again in ’98, and, after taking almost two decades off, for a third time in 2019.

Cheyenne talks about growing up in a rodeo family, her cousins the Crawley brothers, her early career, making her comeback, the many great horses she’s gotten to ride through the years, life on the road as a professional barrel racer, and all of the family businesses she has a hand in at home in Stephenville, Texas.
