They are No. 3 and No. 13 in the world. They live together, train together, and travel together.
Leighton Berry and Cole Reiner talk all things bareback riding with Amy Wilson and Janie Johnson on Western Sports Round-Up, touching on their success so far this year, their favorite rodeos, their routines for staying sharp during the break, and their plans for making it to the NFR.
Berry and Reiner, who both live on the Steiner family’s place in Weatherford, Texas, also note how grateful they are for the support and guidance of world champions like Bobby and Sid Steiner — as well as how lucky they are to have each other as traveling partners.
When asked how important a good traveling partner is to a bareback rider’s success, Berry says, “It’s the most important thing, honestly. If you’re traveling with someone who’s not going to help you with your riding and all around just be positive, then it makes it super hard to do your job too, so you gotta have someone you connect with.
