Homegrown on the Ranch
Reba’s mother, Jacqueline, also had some big dreams; she had aspirations of becoming a country singer back in the day. Jacqueline ultimately became a school teacher because their community needed one. Her dad and grandfather were rodeo steer ropers. Steer roping, also known as steer tripping or steer jerking, is a rodeo event with a steer and mounted cowboy. Reba’s father, Clark, is a three-time world champion in it.
