These Horses are Las Vegas bound for The Run For A Million

Meet the horse & rider pairs heading to Las Vegas to compete at The Run For A Million.

As barns open at South Point Arena & Equestrian Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, more than 200 horse and rider combinations are heading into the arena for The Run For A Million, one of the biggest weeks on the western performance horse calendar.

The event runs August 11 through 15, with barn move-in starting August 7 as horses arrive from across the country and overseas. The show brings together reining, cutting and cow horse competitors in one arena, closing with the Million Dollar Competition on August 15.

The full entry list includes horses competing in the Open Shootout, Non-Pro Challenge, Rookie 1 and 2 Challenges, Youth Reining Challenge and the Race to the Slide on the reining side, plus the Cutting Horse Challenge, Non-Pro Cutting Horse Challenge, Cow Horse Challenge, Youth Cow Horse Challenge, Cowboy Heritage Ranch Challenge and Breakaway Roping Showcase. The names on the entry list reflect how far this event now reaches, with horses and owners coming in from Brazil, Italy, France and Canada alongside entries from ranches and barns across the U.S.
