‘Now this is Horsepower’

Grab your headphones and experience the thundering sounds of barrel racing with 2x Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) qualifier, Jackie Ganter, courtesy of Red Bull’s Sound of Sport video series! Sound of Sport is an immersive video experience in collaboration with DTS Audio, using cutting-edge sound technology that lets you hear the action as if you are the athlete. This installment of Red Bull’s innovative series, brings the sounds of barrel racing to life with rising star Jackie Ganter.
Ganter is one of barrel racing’s most gifted riders, winning the 2015 Rookie of the Year Award, and finishing second in the WPRA world standings heading into the 2016 WNFR. Jackie puts more than 85,000 miles on her truck and trailer, each year, as she tours North America with her five horses – Jet, Baby J, Cartel, R and Shooter – in tow, dreaming of one day winning the coveted Gold Buckle at the WNFR.
Check out the immersive video of Jackie at Lone Star Stables in Abilene, Texas, below (don’t forget those HEADPHONES!). For more about this shoot, here’s Jackie talking about her experience making the video: RedBull.com/SoundofSportJackieGanter. Follow

Patrick OD O'Donnell

The moment a bull's gate swings open—that's when Patrick "OD" O'Donnell feels most alive. From his early days riding bareback through Arizona pastures to revolutionizing the bull riding industry as President of Bull Riders Only, OD has lived the Western lifestyle he now champions as Founder of Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Growing up in Casa Grande's sunbaked agricultural heartland, he didn't just learn about horses and ranching, he lived it daily, developing the instincts and grit that would later attract 4 million followers to CLN's authentic voice. After his baseball days at the University of Arizona, OD saw something others missed: bull riding wasn't just a sport, but was compelling entertainment waiting for the right vision. Between 1990-1997, his leadership transformed local rodeo competitions into sold-out arena events that changed Western sports forever. Today, that same pioneering spirit drives CLN's coverage of everything from championship rodeos to the quiet heroism of ranch life. When he's not building the digital home for cowboy culture, you'll find OD supporting Harris Brothers Charity Foundation, leading CLN’s 25-year Christmas Toy Drive for Arizona kids, or sharing his love of horsemanship with special needs riders through Arizona's own Horses Help. Living proof that authentic Western values still have the power to transform lives.
