Is Eden Brolin a Real Barrel Racer?
While Eden Brolin plays a competitive barrel racer on Yellowstone, she is not a barrel racer in real life. However, she does enjoy spending time in the saddle, both during filming and outside filming.
“The fun part of acting is, like, the activities that you get to do with your character. Like on Yellowstone — I am a character that gets to ride horses a lot and you’re like, ‘Sick…I get to learn all this stuff.’ I get to do a bunch of stuff on horseback. How fun is that?” Eden said in an interview with Reel Talker.
