Today's guest is barrel racing sensation Carlee Otero, fresh off a record-breaking October that’s put her at the top of every barrel racing headline. From scoring $168,000 in mere weeks to bringing two young, rodeo-inexperienced horses all the way to the NFR, Carly opens up about the guts, grit, and strategy that go into chasing the gold buckle.

You’ll hear candid insights on how she balances business smarts with rodeo passion, why she chooses jackpots over downtime, and what it takes to spot and develop a champion mount. Plus, Cheyenne and Maria dig into what sets the Thomas & Mack arena apart—and how Carlee’s horses are prepping for that electric, make-or-break show ring.

It’s an episode about more than winning—it’s about growth, resilience, and following your intuition, whether you’re running down the alleyway or making deals in the barn. So saddle up: this is one raw, inspiring conversation you won’t want to miss.
