Head Coach, Barrel Coach

Kelly Curry

Kelly Curry is a professional barrel racer, a full-time equine trainer, and has been training horses for more than 15 years.
In 2006, Kelly joined High School rodeo which launched her barrel racing career into full swing. Kelly also competed in the southwest and Ozark region of NIRA throughout college on rodeo scholarships.
Kelly now owns and operates a fully functioning equine training, breeding, boarding, and conditioning facility that is the home to the UKRT. With Kelly's past in rodeo and training, the UK Rodeo Team is glad to have her as our barrel coach!
Our barrel racing girls have been lucky to have the opportunity to travel with Kelly as she makes her return to professional rodeo.
