One of the most dominant barrel horses in the sport, Sister has been named the 2025 Barrel Racing Horse of the Year.
Ridden by 4x World Champion Hailey Kinsel, Sister has long been considered one of the best in the game. This year, she proved it again, turning in stellar performances throughout the regular season. Kinsel ran her at 21 rodeos over the summer, and Sister placed at 20 of them, a testament to the mare’s grit and talent.
“She tries her heart out the most of any horse I’ve ever seen. She just gives it her absolute best every time,” Kinsel shared.
More than a partner, Sister is a true competitor who simply loves barrel racing — and it shows every time she enters the arena. As the regular season wrapped, Kinsel earned $186,317, securing the No. 4 spot in the World Standings as she heads to her ninth National Finals Rodeo this December.
