The Run For A Million, created by Taylor Sheridan and hosted by Teton Ridge since 2019, has significantly elevated the profile of Western performance horse events like reining, cutting, and cow horse competitions. Originally part of the reality series The Last Cowboy, the event has expanded to include multiple disciplines and offers substantial prize money, including a $500,000 grand prize for the reining champion. The 2025 event, held at South Point arena in Las Vegas from August 11-16, features elite riders who qualified through select horse shows, with high-stakes classes such as the $200,000 Cutting Horse Challenge and a new $70,000 Sliding Stop Challenge.
Fans attending in person can enjoy vendor booths, autograph sessions with top riders, and appearances by actors from popular Western TV shows, all within the luxurious South Point venue. For those unable to attend, The Run For A Million offers livestream options to watch the intense competition from home, ensuring widespread access to this premier Western horse event.
