The 95th Texas Cowboy Reunion (TCR) proudly announces Brylee Kye Blumenstock of Snyder, Texas, as this year’s Barrel Sponsor. At just 15 years old, this accomplished cowgirl will set the cloverleaf pattern each night of the rodeo – serving as both a symbol of tradition and a beacon for the sport’s future.
Though Brylee won’t be competing for prizes in this role, her presence will be a standout feature of this landmark occasion. Her responsibilities include welcoming barrel racers, participating in the Grand Parade, co-hosting a breakfast for slack barrel racers alongside the TCR Hostess, and riding in the Grand Entry each evening. “I’m excited to be part of such a historic event and to share my love for rodeo with others,” Brylee shared.

Brylee’s rodeo journey began early, as her passion for horses ignited at just two days old. Since then, she has won six saddles, 26 buckles, and numerous other awards. Homeschooled and the daughter of Kirk and Chaelyn Blumenstock, she also mentors her younger sister, Chancee.
She is an active member of Scurry County 4-H, where she has served as both President and Vice President of the Horse Club. In addition to barrel racing, she shows lambs, goats, and steers and competes in events such as team roping, breakaway roping, pole bending, and goat tying. Her involvement spans a wide range of organizations and events, including: West Texas Barrel Racers Association, The Betty’s Too Hot to Handle Barrel Race, High Stakes Productions Barrel Races, No Limits Jr. Rodeo, M2 Jr. Rodeo, Better Barrel Races Dinosaur Classic, West Texas Rodeo Association, Beauty & The Beast, and Ogden 8 & Under Barrel Race.
Beyond the arena, Brylee has explored gymnastics, cheerleading, and summer softball—but her heart belongs to horses.
Her prized mare, Bay Sue Bess, was gifted to her by breeder Gayla Newton Erwin and has been her trusted partner since Brylee was two. Originally trained by Caleb Rice, Bay now competes in barrels and poles under Brylee’s skilled hand.

Whether she is competing or mentoring the next generation, Brylee Kye Blumenstock embodies the spirit of the rodeo—one of grit, grace, and growth. As the TCR opens its gates, all eyes will be on this remarkable young cowgirl who rides not just with talent, but with heart.
