When Nellie Miller’s dad told her as a kid that “you can’t win them all,” he meant it as an inspiration to be consistent and dedicated to whatever his daughter would choose to pursue in life. Not only did Nellie “win it all” at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas last December by securing the 2017 World Champion Barrel Racer title, her horse, Sister, also won the prestigious PRCA/AQHA Barrel Horse of the Year.

The Cottonwood, California, native started her rodeo career at the age of 12. From the first pattern she ran, Nellie knew that she had found her passion. She joined the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association in 2008 and made it to her first National Finals Rodeo in 2010 at the Thomas and Mack Center on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus where she attended college.
