Rodeo star Kelsie Domer is mourning the death of her 3-year-old daughter, Oaklynn Rae, following a horse accident. According to Rodeo Life, Oaklynn died on February 19, 2026, after a "freak wreck" involving one of the family's horses. "Oaklynn packed a lot in her short time with us. Traveling the rodeo circuit all over the US, hitting the practice pen with mom and dad and loving her family with all her heart," an obituary for Oaklynn stated. "She loved frogs, horses, everybody's puppies, going to 'yodeos' and hanging out with all her friends. She did not know a stranger and lit up the room the minute she made her grand entrance." While Kelsie and her husband, Ryan Domer, haven't publicly spoken out about their daughter's death, those in the rodeo community are sending their support to a couple who loved their only child.
