Congratulations Nellie Miller – 2017 World Champion Barrel Racer

On Saturday night, Nellie Miller got the cowgirl honor of a lifetime when she won the title of 2017 World Champion Barrel Racer!

It was a neck to neck battle until the very end between Nellie Miller and Tiany Schuster; the latter was in the lead for nine of the ten rounds at the WNFR. In the end, Nellie’s consistency and determination in the arena won her the world champion title.

COWGIRL Magazine was lucky enough to spend three days with the 2017 world champion barrel racer at the WNFR, getting a behind the scenes look at what makes this cowgirl and her horse Sister, AQHA Horse of the Year, such fierce competitors in the arena. Check out the interview below!
