Top 5 Money-Earning Reined Cow Horses for 2025
1. Bowie Nights
- 2022 Mare, Metallic Cat x Lil Bit Reckless
- 2025 Total Earnings: $275,662
- Owned by: Bar One Land & Cattle LLC
Bowie Nights made headlines with an unforgettable victory in the 2025 NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity alongside NRCHA $1 million rider John Swales. The pair earned a composite 662.5 score, securing a $200,000 payday and a five-point lead over second place. Bowie Nights had been trained by Swales’ sister, Veronica, but after her accident earlier in the season, John stepped in to show the talented mare.
“Because Ronnie [Veronica] and I grew up riding together, our styles are really similar,” Swales said. “Honestly, I think she’s a better horse trainer than I am. My goal was simple—don’t screw it up and show them as good as I can.”
