Rare Video Shows Reba McEntire Showing Off Her Barrel Racing Skills

Reba is so much more than just a one-trick-pony. The fiery redhead has been singing since the age of five, but before she was famous for that skill, she competed in rodeos as a barrel racer.

It’s not too surprising when you consider her heritage. Reba comes from rodeo stock. Her father and her grandfather were World Champion steer ropers, and her first marriage was to champion steer wrestler Charlie Battles. She was even discovered at a rodeo, in 1974, when she opened the show by singing the national anthem.

She recently sang the national anthem again at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.
