From Tied Champions to TIMELESS IMPACT
Cade McCutcheon and Craig Schmersal Reflect on The Run For A Million
When Cade McCutcheon and Craig Schmersal tied for the win at the inaugural Run For A Million in 2019, the moment marked more than a shared victory. It symbolized the beginning of a new era in reining; one that continues to ripple through the sport six years later. As both riders prepare to compete again this August in Las Vegas, they reflect on how the event has transformed their careers and redefined the industry as a whole.
The Run For A Million is now one of the most prestigious events in the sport of reining, with only 16 riders qualifying to compete in the Million Dollar Competition. Riders must earn their place at one of three qualifiers: the Open Shootout at TRFAM in Las Vegas, Equita Lyon in France, or the Cactus Reining Classic in Scottsdale. The winner receives $500,000, and the rest of the pot is divided among the finalists. This payout has helped push the sport into a new financial stratosphere and put it on the world’s stage.
For Cade, now a mainstay on the elite reining circuit, the impact of The Run For A Million has been deeply personal and professional. “There are more people in the industry, and horses sell for more,” he said. “It’s packed at every part of the industry, from the high-level open horses all the way down to the rookie horses. Even winning the rookie there is a big deal.”
McCutcheon is no stranger to the Million Dollar Competition. He has now qualified multiple times, courtesy of the reliability and consistency of horses like Varsity
Blu and Shes Got Good Guns, to earn his spot. “For the qualifier, I’m looking for the one I can count on the most. The most consistent one,” he said. “For Saturday night, I pick the most talented one I have, the one most capable of marking the highest score. Then I just hope it all comes together.”
This season, Cade once again qualified on Varsity Blu. He chose that horse specifically for the qualifier, knowing the horse’s steady nature would give him the best odds to return to the bright lights of Las Vegas.
That confidence is rooted in the memory of his defining moment… the 2019 tie. “Winning the first year was pretty surreal,” Cade recalled. “I’ll never forget walking out to the stall area to go to the bathroom and seeing a line as far as I could see. From that moment on, I knew how big of a deal this was.”
Craig Schmersal, who shared that unforgettable tie with Cade, agrees. Craig brought decades of experience with him to that first event and saw firsthand what made The Run For A Million different.
“There’s no event like it. The finest of cutting, cow horse, and reining are all under one roof for a week. That just doesn’t happen,” he said. “It’s been a win-win.”
This year, Craig qualified on Setting Off To Town, a horse that has earned him multiple entries into the Million Dollar Competition. “That night, he felt the best he’s ever felt,” Craig said. “I wish I’d shown him the next night. He was super good.” He plans to take multiple horses to Las Vegas and will make his final decision based

“There’s no event like it. The finest of cutting, cow horse, and reining are all under one roof for a week. That just doesn’t happen,” he said. “It’s been a win-win.”
on how they handle the ground and school during the week.
For both riders, the energy in Las Vegas is incomparable to anything else in the sport. “It feels more like Super Bowl week,” Cade said. “You’re doing interviews, signing autographs, and all week long, you’ve known you were going to be in that Saturday night show. You feel less like a horse trainer and more like a celebrity.”
Craig, who has built a career not only on competition but also mentoring the next generation of horsemen, has watched the industry evolve in the wake of TRFAM. “Those young kids are so talented. They take what you know, add their spin, and raise the bar,” he said. “They have a hunger for knowledge, they’re athletes, and their hand-eye coordination is incredible. The horses are better, the competition is tougher, and the money has completely changed. If you earned $250,000 in a year ten years ago, you were probably the top earner. Now, you better be winning $800,000 or $900,000.”
That shift, Craig believes, is thanks in large part to the vision of Taylor Sheridan. “I give a lot of thanks to Taylor,” he said. “I know he put up his own money to do this event. His vision and his love for our industry are what have driven the sport to
where it is now. I never in a million years thought I would see something like this in our industry.”
Sheridan’s influence goes beyond the purse. As the creator of The Last Cowboy, he has brought the sport into the living rooms of viewers who previously knew nothing about reining. Cade sees the effect of this crossover constantly. “We see people at horse shows who have never been on a horse but watched The Last Cowboy and wanted to see us in person,” he said. “There are way more fans and spectators now.”
The presence of more eyes and more money has not only raised the stakes but also elevated the expectations, particularly around horsemanship. For Craig, that remains at the heart of it all. “I want to see the horsemanship continue to grow,” he said. “I like seeing horses being taken care of. The more we focus on that, the better the sport will be.”
Looking ahead, both men feel optimistic about the future. With organizations reaching new heights and television exposure continuing to expand, they believe this is only the beginning.
“The sport has changed completely; who sees us, how they see us, and what they’re willing to invest,” Cade said. “I see more of that coming. We’re just getting started.”
Back in 2019, no one could have predicted how significant that tie would become. Today, as Cade McCutcheon and Craig Schmersal prepare to ride into the arena once again, their shared victory remains a powerful symbol of tradition and transformation. The Run For A Million has grown into a cultural and competitive cornerstone built on passion, talent, and vision. And for these two riders, it is both a legacy they helped shape and a future they remain committed to being a part of building.

&Hazardouz Material Taormino
Making History: From World's Greatest Horseman to The Run For A Million
When Erin Taormino rode into the arena at the 2025 World’s Greatest Horseman, she wasn’t just aiming to improve on last year’s performance; she was chasing history. Riding Hazardouz Material, owned by Linda Mars, Taormino became the first woman to ever claim the title of World’s Greatest Horseman, an achievement that sent shockwaves through the industry.
“It was pretty amazing,” said Taormino. “It’s something that’s always been a goal of mine, but I never wanted to enter just to say I entered. I didn’t grow up roping, and I didn’t pick up a rope until later in my career. In 2024, to be able to make the finals, that meant a lot. I made the finals and then missed in the steer stopping. That stung, but it pushed me to work even harder.”
That hard work paid off. With a year’s worth of focused training and a strong bond with Hazardouz Material, affectionately known as “Skeeter,” Taormino entered the 2025 event with more confidence and a stronger handle on the toughest parts of the competition. The horse, she says, was a game changer.
“He’s just been such a solid citizen. A horse like him makes everything easier. Knowing that if I did my job, he’d do his, it gave me the confidence I needed,” she said.
The moment that cemented her shot at the title came during the steer-stopping phase.
“As soon as I caught in the finals, I felt this huge weight come off my shoulders,” Taormino said. “I’d missed last year, and that had been riding on me. But this time, I caught, and I thought, ‘Alright, now I can just go to the horse
show.’ I had the best seat in the house.”
That clarity carried her through to the end, and when the dust settled, she was at the top of the leaderboard with history made and a gold buckle in hand.
Winning the World’s Greatest Horseman is no small feat. The grueling event demands elite-level skill across four challenging disciplines: herd work, reined work, steer stopping, and cow work. It’s an event designed to test not just the horse’s versatility, but the rider’s mental toughness and horsemanship under pressure. For Taormino, that win validated years of dedication and training, not to mention the trust placed in her by Skeeter’s owner, Linda Mars.
“Horses like Skeeter don’t come around often,” she said. “And owners like Miss Linda are even rarer. The fact that she trusts my program and has supported me through it all… I never take that for granted.”
Taormino’s victory was more than a personal milestone. In a sport that has been historically male-dominated, her success served as a signal that times are changing. But while the headlines were quick to focus on her being the “first woman,” Taormino doesn’t see herself defined by that alone.
“Yes, it’s a male-dominated sport, but that doesn’t mean it’s a man’s sport,” she explained. “We can do it just as well. I’ve always done things my way, and I take pride in showing up as myself. Earrings, bracelets, the whole thing; I’m not going to change who I am to fit in. But at the end of the day, the work still

has to be done. And that’s what I focus on.”
Taormino shares a long friendship with breakaway roping legend Jackie Crawford, who has also spoken publicly about embracing her identity while competing in elite arenas. Watching Crawford navigate the highs and lows of rodeo has helped shape Taormino’s own outlook on competition. Crawford shared with Taormino, “Any sport in the Western industry, you’re going to spend a lot more time losing than winning. The process is what’s going to be the fulfilling part and where you find your joy.”
“I’ve learned a lot from Jackie, not just as a competitor, but as a person,” she said. “They’re on the road constantly, and they go through major ups and downs. But she’s always talked about loving the process. You can’t get stuck in the lows, and you can’t let the highs carry you away either. You’ve got to find peace in the middle.”
That even-keeled mindset is exactly what Taormino plans to bring with her to The Run For A Million. When asked how her preparation for this prestigious event differs from her training for World’s Greatest Horseman, her answer was simple: it doesn’t.
“Nothing’s changed,” she said. “I school the same, I work the same. Winning that title gave me confidence, but it didn’t change my process. The work is still the work.”
What she is looking forward to, however, is the atmosphere.
“I love showing in front of that crowd. The energy in that arena is unreal,” Taormino said. “When you ride through those gates at South Point and hear the crowd, it’s electric. It’s the kind of feeling that reminds you why you love this sport.”
Taormino will be riding Hazardouz Material, better known as Skeeter, at The Run For A Million. The horse that helped her make history at World’s Greatest Horseman is the same one she’ll ride into the arena at South Point. The consistency in their program is something Taormino values as she steps into another high-stakes environment.
“He’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of horse,” she said. “I’ve had him in my program for years. To win something like World’s Greatest Horseman on a horse I’ve trained, that’s what makes it even more special. Horses like him don’t come around often, and I never take that for granted.”
With Skeeter, and the unwavering support of owner Linda Mars, Taormino is riding a wave of momentum and gratitude into her next challenge. She’s grounded in her routine, focused on performance, and carrying with her a historic win that will forever be a part of the record books.
The road to The Run For A Million is paved with some of the most skilled and seasoned horsemen and horsewomen in the sport. But Erin Taormino has already proven she belongs in that conversation. Her breakthrough victory wasn’t a fluke; it was the result of tireless effort, strategic horsemanship, and a rock-solid team behind her.
From humble beginnings and late-night roping practice to standing in the spotlight, Taormino’s story is one of persistence, resilience, and belief. And now, as she prepares for the next arena, she’ll be doing exactly what she’s always done… riding with purpose and letting the work speak for itself.
Taormino’s victory was more than a personal milestone. In a sport that has been historically male-dominated, her success served as a signal that times are changing.

Bridging the gap between tradition and arena performance, the event offers spectators a rare glimpse into the real world of ranch life; no pretense, just purpose.
Cowboy Heritage Ranch Challenge
When The Run For A Million first came to life, it captured the imagination of equine enthusiasts across disciplines. From reining to cow horse to cutting, it became the premier stage for the best of the best. But one event at the heart of the weeklong spectacle connects the past to the present like no other - the Cowboy Heritage Ranch Challenge. Born out of a desire to honor America’s legendary ranches and the cowboys who work them, the event returns in 2025 with a lineup of ten cowboys from ten historic ranches, each representing the heritage and horsemanship rooted in ranch life.
From the start, the Cowboy Heritage Ranch Challenge was built with authenticity in mind.
The Cowboy Heritage Ranch Challenge is not a typical horse show event. It is an invitational created by Taylor Sheridan and Dr. Nathan Canaday, the 6666 Ranch Horse Division Manager and Resident Veterinarian. Together, they envisioned a competition that would highlight not just the horses and riders,
but the iconic ranches they represent.
“This was Taylor’s idea from the beginning,” said Canaday. “He’s always been fascinated by how The Run For A Million brings together multiple disciplines at the highest level. But he also wanted to shine a light on working cowboys, those who are out there every day doing the job, not just competing in the arena.”
From the start, the Cowboy Heritage Ranch Challenge was built with authenticity in mind. The cowboys competing are not professional horse trainers or part-time ranch hands. They are full-time working cowboys, employed by the ranches they represent. The horses, too, must reflect this lifestyle. Any horse competing must have earned less than $20,000 in competition, ensuring that the spotlight stays on practicality and versatility over polish and showmanship.
The competition itself is a challenge where the cowboys will complete a traditional reining and cow work run that ends with steer stopping. Judges from respected Western performance associations handle the scoring, but the event intentionally steers clear of affiliating with any one organization to preserve its unique identity.
“Ranch horses are versatile by necessity,” Canaday explained. “They have to be. One day they might be sorting cattle, the next day gathering in rough

country, and then branding calves the day after that. That’s what this event is designed to reflect.”
This year marks the fifth edition of the Cowboy Heritage Ranch Challenge. The roster features legendary American outfits like Pitchfork Land & Cattle, 6666 Ranch, Tongue River Ranch, XIT Ranch, and more iconic names.
Joining that elite list in 2025 is Las Tunas Ranch from Chihuahua, Mexico, the first international ranch ever invited to compete. “It is a privilege to be invited to compete at The Run For A Million,” said Las Tunas owner Miguel Guerrero. “This is a tribute to all those who have worked and are working at Las Tunas to do things right. We see this invitation as an opportunity to place Las Tunas and Mexico in the eyes of the world.”
In 2024, Las Tunas earned the AQHA International Best Remuda Award, one of the highest honors a ranch can receive for excellence in horse breeding and training. Guerrero views the Cowboy Heritage Ranch Challenge not just as a chance to compete, but as a responsibility to represent the hard work of his team. “All our horses go through an extensive working program out on the ranch,” he said. “They’re handling cattle every day, so when they go into the arena, it’s just another day…just with a few more eyes watching.”
Las Tunas cowboy, Poncho Gonzalez, will compete on behalf of the ranch. While the team has reviewed past footage of the event and added some training sessions, Guerrero emphasized that their daily work is their greatest preparation. “There’s not much we’re changing,” Guerrero added. “We have the right horse, the right people, and we’re confident. It’s a dream come true, and we are thankful for the opportunity.”
The inclusion of Las Tunas not only expands the event’s reach beyond U.S. borders but underscores its mission to honor ranches that are producing exceptional horses through authentic ranch work. Canaday, who also serves on the AQHA Ranching Heritage Committee, said the decision to include Las Tunas was a natural one after seeing their dedication and success. “We had an
opening this year, and I thought of Miguel,” Canaday said. “He and his crew are doing things the right way, and after they received the Best Remuda Award, it just made sense to include them.”
Over the years, participation has grown more competitive. Ranches are invited based on legacy, impact, and ongoing commitment to the cowboy way of life. While Texas ranches are well represented, the event has welcomed outfits from Nebraska to California. Canaday noted that some ranches have turned down invitations in the past, often due to the competition being on such a large stage compared to the working cowboy’s normal ranch setting. To help with that, the 6666 Ranch hosted a Cowboy Clinic in the early years to prepare participants for the Vegas stage.“The first few years, we brought in NRCHA professionals to do a clinic and a mini mock show,” Canaday said. “It helped give the cowboys some preparation for Vegas. Now, most of the ranches are comfortable enough there, and we haven’t needed the clinic in the last two years.”
Despite its growing prestige, the event remains committed to its roots. Sheridan and Canaday continue to prioritize authenticity and heritage over show ring polish. Invitations are reviewed annually, and changes to the lineup are made with careful consideration.
Looking ahead, Canaday hopes to see more iconic ranches step into the spotlight, including additional international contenders. “There’s definitely interest in rotating in new ranches,” he said. “But we’re limited in space and want to maintain that connection to legacy. It’s a balancing act, but one that we think is worth it.”
At its core, the Cowboy Heritage Ranch Challenge is more than a competition. It is a celebration of horsemanship, heritage, and the working cowboy. By bridging the gap between tradition and arena performance, the event offers spectators a rare glimpse into the real world of ranch life; no pretense, just purpose.
The inclusion of Las Tunas not only expands the event’s reach beyond U.S. borders but underscores its mission to honor ranches that are producing exceptional horses through authentic ranch work. Wagonhound Land and Livestock is

League of Her Own
KITTENNISH A Mare in
In the world of cutting horses, legends are not born overnight. They are sculpted by bloodlines, shaped by training, and proven under pressure. For Billy Wolf and Austin Shepard, Kittennish has become more than just another standout in the arena. She is a mare redefining expectations and rewriting the standard for greatness in the sport. With a track record that includes a Cutting Challenge title from the 2024 Run for a Million, the 2025 Summer Cutting Spectacular Open Classic Challenge Co-Champion, the 2025 Reserve Champion in the Cutting at The American Performance Horseman and a growing reputation among the elite, Kittennish is no longer just a promising name. She is the name. She is the Queen.
Bred for Greatness
Though not technically home-raised, Kittennish carries deep roots in Billy Wolf’s program. Her dam, Show Biz Kitty, was purchased as an embryo in a recipient mare back in 2018. The foal, born at Wolf’s place, grew up tall and lean. As she matured, she began to fill out physically, developing the frame and presence of something truly special.
Wolf had already seen potential in Kitty’s foals. She had produced the likes of Rollz Royce, Cold Shot Kitty, and All Spice before Kittennish came along. So, when this filly started showing promise, expectations were cautiously high. “Showbiz Kitty had already raised a few good ones, and Kittennish looked like she might be the best yet,” Wolf said.
As a two-year-old, she was started by Royce Stallcup before eventually making her way into the hands of Austin Shepard.
A Star in the Making
From the very beginning, Shepard recognized something rare in Kittennish. “She was really athletic and she liked her job,” he said. “By this time of year when I was training her, we already knew she was a standout. She wasn’t just nice. She was special.”
She made her show debut at the NCHA Futurity and delivered a performance that left trainers and spectators stunned. According to Shepard, she felt like a seasoned five-year-old in her very first run. He received calls from other trainers who couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.
What sets Kittennish apart, Shepard believes, is her refusal to plateau. “She just keeps doing it. She doesn’t run out of gears,” he said. “There’s always another level.”
It is this relentlessness that earned her a nickname from Shepard that many might consider bold: Michael Jordan. “She’s just a physical freak,” he explained. “She’s a big horse, especially for a cutting horse. But she’s also got the desire. She does things that other horses can’t do and don’t want to do.”
Tailored Training for a One-of-a-Kind Mare
Training a horse like Kittennish requires a unique approach. Shepard avoids pushing her to her limits at home, not because she can’t handle it, but because she can easily overdo it. “She can do more than most cows,” he said. “If she was ever going as fast as she could go, there’s not a cow in Texas that could keep up.” Instead, the focus is on keeping her mentally fresh and physically sound.

And despite her fire in the show pen, Kittennish is anything but businesslike at home.
“She is spoiled rotten,” Shepard laughed. “She knickers at everyone, bangs her head at feeding time, and she wants to be in your pocket. She’s one step from being in my living room.”
Wolf has similar stories. During breeding season, she would rattle a chain in her stall every time someone walked into the barn, just to make sure she was noticed. “She’d grab that chain and rattle it. It was her way of saying, ‘Hey, I’m over here.’”
The Road to the Run for a Million
Kittennish qualified for The Run for a Million at the Brazos Bash; the qualifier is a one-go format, making it an all-or-nothing scenario. With a horse as talented as Kittennish, Shepard focused on keeping things simple and clean.
“I just wanted to stay in our regular routine,” he said. “With her, you don’t have to take big chances. If you can get three clean cuts and the cows cooperate, she’ll do the rest.”
She thrives in the spotlight. Shepard said she actually feeds off the energy of the crowd, drawing strength from the noise and excitement around her. And if the crowd does not get her going, Shepard’s daughter-in-law, Kamryn, who also helps prepare the mare, is loud enough to make sure she stays fired up.
More Than a Competitor
For Billy Wolf, watching Kittennish succeed has been rewarding beyond trophies and scores. “I’ve owned a lot of great horses, but she’s a horse of a lifetime,” he said. “She’s the kind you hope to have just once.”
In the finals, she is never just another entry. She is a contender, every time.
“She gives you a shot,” Wolf said. “There are horses you just hope will have a good run. With her, you expect it.”
Legacy in the Making
Now six years old, Kittennish’s show career still has miles to go. But her legacy is already in motion. She has four foals on the ground and more on the way. Both Wolf and Shepard are eager to see what traits she passes on to the next generation.
For Wolf, it is her intelligence and ability to move effortlessly. “She can cover ground 15 to 20 feet in one move,” he said. “If I could mold them all like that, I would.”
Shepard agrees but adds that it is her complete lack of weakness that makes her rare. “She doesn’t have any faults. She loves to work cows. She’s sound. She’s physically gifted. She just does it all,” he said.
A Living Legend
When asked if any historical horses compare, Shepard draws a connection to Secretariat. “She’s kind of like him in how she grew into herself,” he said. “She was tall and lanky at first, then she filled out and figured it out. By the time summer came around, she was ready to go. And then it was just about keeping her healthy.”
Looking ahead, both men are cautious but optimistic. There is still more they hope to accomplish with Kittennish, both in the show pen and the breeding barn. But they already know what they have. “She’s my favorite,” Wolf said. “And I owe it all to Austin and her. It’s an honor to own her.” Kittennish may only be six, but she is already cementing herself as one of the greatest cutting horses in modern history. And the best part? She is just getting started.
CUTTING

Crossing Continents: Europe’s Lone Qualifier Heads to The Run For A Million
When Arnaud Girinon and Flexing Guns N Town step into the bright lights of Las Vegas this August, they will be representing more than just a spot in the lineup at The Run For A Million. They will represent the heart, resilience, and global reach of reining as they bring a European-trained horse across the Atlantic to compete on one of the sport’s biggest stages.
The duo earned their place the hard way. In Europe, there is only one path to the Million Dollar Competition: a single coveted qualifying spot at the Equita Lyon event during the NRHA European Derby. Girinon and his powerful yet gentle stud seized that opportunity with a performance that stopped the crowd in their tracks and secured their ticket to Las Vegas.
One Shot in Europe
“There is just one qualifier in Europe, and it’s just one spot,” Girinon explained. “It was during the Euro Derby at Equita Lyon in France. We were lucky enough to be in shape that day and qualify.”
That one day required more than skill and talent; it demanded grit. Flexing Guns N Town, affectionately described by Girinon as a “teddy bear” despite his size, had suffered an allergic reaction believed to be caused by shavings in his stall. The timing was nearly catastrophic.
“The vet said if he’s fit enough, I could show at the end of the day,” Girinon
recalled. That resilience carried them through the go-round on Thursday, where he still wasn’t 100 percent after an allergic reaction but managed to score a 223.5 without being pushed. By Saturday’s final, he was back to himself; sharp, responsive, and ready. Girinon drew a prime spot near the end and right after the drag. What followed was a flawless, electric run that earned them a spot in reining’s most prestigious event with a score of 230.
A Horse with Heart
Flexing Guns N Town is more than just a talented equine athlete; he’s the cornerstone of Girinon’s dreams. At five years old, he has already become the most important horse of Girinon’s career.
“He’s a sweetheart. A huge horse, but truly like a teddy bear,” Girinon said with affection. “He’s the best horse I’ve ever ridden. He’s humongous, but he has a big body because he has such a big heart.”
It’s a heart that matches his talent. Girinon says Flexing Guns N Town has never disappointed him. Whether laying down a 230-point pattern or quietly letting Girinon’s five-year-old son climb aboard after a show, the stallion balances power and poise like few others.
“He’s really one of a kind. I’m super glad I get to ride such an athlete with such a great mind,” Girinon added.

Their journey to Las Vegas is not just a logistical feat; it’s a mental one. Flying a horse overseas brings countless questions about how the animal will adjust. From quarantine protocols to new footing in the show pen, there are unknowns that Girinon is preparing for carefully.
“I’m curious about the grounds because I’ve never shown in Vegas,” he said. “I just hope the quarantine, the change in feeding, and the excitement don’t take too much out of him. But he’s still very chill. He’s used to long trips. We show in Italy all the time and drive 16 hours. So I believe, maybe more hope, but I believe he’ll handle the flight just fine.”
A Year of Excellence
The Vegas spotlight may be new to them, but the big stage is not. Flexing Guns N Town has built an impressive resume over the past year. In addition to winning the Euro Derby, he was Reserve Champion twice at the 100X in Paris and once at the Italian Derby.
“Every time, his score was 230 or above,” said Girinon. “He just had a great year. I hope he keeps that consistency now in Vegas.”
Preparation for the event has been thoughtful and intense. At the time of the interview, Girinon was competing in a schooling show in Paris, focusing on fine-tuning Flexing Guns N Town’s performance to match the expectations of American judges.
“I’m trying to get him a little bit the American way,” he said with a smile. “We’re all watching what you guys are doing over there and trying to ride as similarly as possible. We want him to be pleasant enough for the judges.”
Girinon is also focused on maintaining the horse’s health. His team has implemented magnetotherapy sessions, careful conditioning, and regular check-ins with veterinarians to make sure the horse is in peak form for the transatlantic trip.
The Dream
For Girinon, qualifying for The Run For A Million has already shifted the trajectory of his life and career.
“It’s a life change,” he said without hesitation. “This is something you dream of as a kid. Ten years ago, I didn’t even think it would be possible to qualify, and now
a dream is becoming reality.”
It’s a dream that began when he was six years old, watching his sister ride at a local pony club in France. Eventually, boredom with watching turned into curiosity, and that curiosity became a passion.
“I said if my older sister can do it, I can do it too,” he laughed. “So I started lessons and never quit.”
Girinon worked as a co-trainer for several years before launching his own training business with his wife. Their joint effort has grown steadily, and with Flexing Guns N Town, it has reached a new level.
“It would be huge for us and the horse’s owner if we won,” he said. “A massive accomplishment.”
Words to the Dreamers
Girinon knows his journey is one that many international riders hope to take. When asked what advice he would give to other European or non-American reining athletes hoping to make it to The Run For A Million, he was clear.
“Just never give up,” he said. “Sometimes it won’t work, but sometimes everything goes right. In Europe, you only have one shot. One overturn and you’re done. In the U.S., there are more chances, but it’s still tough. You need to be dedicated and keep trying.”
And then he added with a humble grin, “If I could make it, anyone can. I don’t cook with anything other than warm water.”
That mindset, combined with a remarkable horse and relentless preparation, may just make Girinon and Flexing Guns N Town the pair to watch in Las Vegas this August. They carry with them not just the hope of winning, but the pride of proving that champions can come from anywhere, even from a pony club in France.

The Next Big Names in Cow Horse Are Already Here
In a sport built on grit, heart, and heritage, the Youth Cow Horse Challenge at The Run For A Million offers an extraordinary platform for the next generation of horsemen and horsewomen. This elite event features the top ten finalists from the 2025 Western Bloodstock World’s Greatest Youth Horseman. It’s a chance for youth competitors to showcase their skills alongside some of the biggest names in the western performance horse industry. For riders like Will Akin, Parker Ralston, and Landri Lisac, it’s not just another show; it’s the culmination of years of preparation, sacrifice, and love for the sport.
Will Akin: Intentional Growth and a Remarkable Horse
At 19, Will Akin knows a thing or two about seizing opportunity. Originally from Midland, Texas, Akin didn’t grow up in a ranching family, but his passion for horses drove him to find a way in. “I kind of hit the family lottery in the sense that my parents were so supportive,” he said. His path took shape under the mentorship of horseman Miles Brown, with whom he spent four summers learning the trade, living the ranch lifestyle, and building skills that couldn’t be taught in a classroom.
Will will ride SJR Starlit Rey, a 9-year-old gelding with a striking look and a surprisingly infamous nickname if you’re close with this crew. The horse was originally trained by Erin Taormino, and while his performance at the futurity was hindered by a bit of bad luck, Will said he was fortunate to end up with him. “Looking back, it was honestly a miracle,” he said. “I think that’s the Lord’s plan. He was the horse I needed in my life.”
Their relationship has grown through trial and time. Will admitted he struggled with the horse early on, but credits the gelding’s forgiving nature with helping him develop as both a rider and a future trainer. “He’s the one that made me passionate about training horses. He grows with me, and he tries to make the same run every time.”
Competing on the Vegas stage is a big deal, and Will doesn’t take it lightly. “It kind of makes you feel like a rock star without the musical ability,” he joked. “To go down the fence in front of thousands of people, there’s only a select percentage of the population that can say they’ve done that.”
Parker Ralston: Humble Beginnings, Big Ambitions
Also, 19, Parker Ralston hails from Culbran, Colorado. He was practically born into the industry, growing up on his family’s ranch and watching his father train horses. “We raise a bunch of cows and calves and raise our own horses,” he said. “So I’ve just kind of grown up around it.”
Ralston will be showing Seven S Tuff Boots, a mare he says is both calm and fast which is an ideal combination in the cow horse world. “She’s crazy but not crazy,” he said. “She’s a great mare and has been good to me.” That trust and connection carried them to a championship win at the Youth World’s Greatest Horseman, a moment Ralston still finds hard to believe. “I didn’t really expect to win it. I just wanted the experience. But everything aligned.”
Parker approaches competition with a steady mindset. “We’ll see how it goes,” he said of the Vegas event. “I’ve competed on a big stage before, but this is something different. It’s a huge production.” His ultimate dream is to train horses professionally and one day win the open division at the World’s Greatest Horseman. He’s currently in college, riding on a ranch horse team that recently won a national title, and wants to continue building momentum while staying competitive.
For him, the impact of The Run For A Million on the equine world can’t be overstated. “It’s brought a name to the horse industry,” he said. “Now, even people outside of the horse world are watching. It’s exposing more people to what we do.”
“Looking back, it was honestly a miracle, I think that’s the Lord’s plan. He was the horse I needed in my life.”

Landri Lisac: A Sister’s Example and a Champion’s Drive
Landri Lisac’s journey began by following in the footsteps of her older sister. “She did it before me, and I’ve always looked up to her,” Lisac explained. From there, her passion for reined cow horse only grew. Hailing from Pueblo, Colorado, she now splits time between her hometown and Oklahoma to train with legendary horseman, Todd Crawford.
“Without Todd, I wouldn’t be the rider I am today,” she said. “He’s helped me so much, and I’m super grateful.”
Landri qualified for the Youth Cow Horse Challenge at the Youth World’s Greatest Horseman, where she finished second. She’ll be riding LooksLikeLuckToMe, a mare her family has owned for years. “She’s always stayed true to us,” Lisac said. “She gives her all every time, and I’m very comfortable showing her.”
She’s no stranger to success, having twice been crowned National High School Rodeo World Champion in the reined cow horse. But that hasn’t dimmed her hunger for improvement. “There’s always something I can do better. I just try harder, push harder, and practice. I know there’s more success I can accomplish.”
Juggling school and horses is no easy feat, especially with travel and training. Her school allows for some online flexibility, and she credits her mother and coach for helping her stay balanced and prepared. “I stay really busy, but it works pretty well,” she said.
When it comes to high-pressure events, Landri has a unique way of managing nerves. “I’m very superstitious,” she admitted. “I have show shirts I only wear for big events. My mom has to be there. It’s all part of the routine.” And while she’s confident, she admits it took time to become the rider she is today. “I struggled at the beginning. But I kept believing in myself and in my horses. Todd always said it would all come together.”
Her advice to other aspiring youth riders? “Don’t give up. It took me years to get here. Trust the process, put your faith in God, and work with what you have.”
Looking ahead, Landri hopes to continue excelling in the horse world while pursuing her dream of becoming a nurse. She’ll attend Auburn University, balancing her academic and equine goals. “I just want to keep becoming a better rider and a better version of myself.”
“I just want to keep becoming a better rider and a better version of myself.”
“I didn’t really expect to win it. I just wanted the experience. But everything aligned.”
The Next Generation Rides In
For these young competitors, the Youth Cow Horse Challenge is more than a prestigious event; it’s a stepping stone to their futures. Whether they grew up on a ranch, were the first in their family to ride, or followed a sibling’s path, each brings a unique story and a shared commitment to excellence.
The Run For A Million has become a landmark event not just for professionals, but now for the youth who represent the future of the sport. Their presence in Las Vegas will showcase more than just talent; it will reveal the heart and hustle behind every run.

When Dogs Take Flight
The Jump For A Million Joins TRFAM Arena
The Run For A Million has always been a celebration of power, precision, and partnership. While that partnership is most often between horse and rider, a new exhibition for 2025 adds a fresh and furry twist. For the first time, elite canine athletes will compete in Las Vegas in front of the reining world’s biggest crowd. The Jump For A Million, presented in collaboration with North America Diving Dogs, will bring sixteen dock diving dogs into the spotlight on Thursday, August 14 at 2 p.m. in the Priefert 2 Arena.
Each dog will represent one of the 2025 Million Dollar Riders. Together, the rider and dog form a team that will compete for the crowd’s attention and the title of The Jump For A Million Champion. The idea might seem unexpected at first, but when you stop to think about it, horse people are usually dog people, too.
The story behind the event’s creation started at the Cactus Classic, where Steve and Kristin Powell, owners of North America Diving Dogs, were sitting in the stands. Steve, who is more of a dog guy than a horse guy, was taken in by the atmosphere and the action.
“I told my wife I wanted to get a banner up at The Run For A Million,” Steve said. “She told me to just send an email. The worst they could do was say no. So I sent it, and the next thing I know, I’m on the phone with the TRFAM team. They said, ‘We have a better idea. What would it take to bring a pool?’” (Yes, pool of water!)
That idea grew into something much more. Instead of just a promotional moment, the event became a full-fledged exhibition competition. Last year, the Powells hosted a digital contest to gauge interest. Six dogs were selected by popular
vote to build momentum. From there, qualifiers were created to complete the roster of sixteen competitors. The response from the dog diving community confirmed that this idea had legs, and plenty of them.
A Dog Sport Built for Spectacle
Dock diving has become one of the fastest-growing sports for dogs across North America. Dogs run down a platform and leap into a long pool of water in pursuit of a thrown toy. The distance of each jump is recorded and ranked. The result is a blend of athleticism and water-soaked joy for the pup.
North America Diving Dogs, or NADD, is the leading organization in the sport. Steve and Kristin purchased the organization from its founder and have expanded it across the United States and Canada. Today, NADD includes more than 85 independently operated facilities and a team of mobile docks that travel to events throughout the year. NADD is also the only dock diving organization whose titles are recognized by the American Kennel Club. When a dog earns a title through NADD, it can be recorded on its AKC record. This recognition helps showcase the dog’s skills and adds value for trainers, breeders, and handlers.
To be eligible for The Jump For A Million, dogs must have earned either an Advanced or Excellent title during the 2023 or 2024 NADD season. They must also have a season average based on at least 15 recorded jumps. This helps ensure that every competitor is experienced and ready for a live, high-stakes environment.

“We wanted dogs that could handle a brand new setting with lights, noise, and energy,” Kristin explained. “These dogs have competed indoors, outdoors, in front of crowds, and at National events. They are ready to show what they can do.”
Scoring That Levels the Field
What makes The Jump For A Million unique is its scoring format. Instead of only measuring raw distance, the event uses a handicapped scoring system. Each dog’s jump is compared to its season average, and the dog that exceeds its average by the highest percentage earns the best score.
This approach gives every dog, regardless of size or breed, a fair chance at the win. A small dog that typically jumps four feet can outperform a much larger dog if it leaps further beyond its own average. This system rewards consistency and improvement, not just strength or speed.
“It is completely possible for a little dog to win it all,” Steve said. “That is part of what makes it fun. You cannot predict the outcome. Everyone has a shot.”
Each of the sixteen dogs is paired with a Million Dollar Rider. The matchups are determined through a draw party, just like those held for the equine event. Fans can cheer for their favorite rider and root for their four-legged teammate as they take the leap.
One Round, Two Jumps, Big Moment
The format is straightforward. Each team gets one round and two jumps to post their best result. There are no finals or head-to-head rounds, so every moment counts. With the tight schedule at TRFAM, the goal was to keep the event fun, fast, and competitive.
And while the crowd may see only the splash and the score, there is a deep layer of training and trust behind every jump. Handlers work closely with their dogs to build confidence, timing, and focus. The sport is about more than water; it is about the connection between human and animal. That connection is familiar to everyone walking the grounds of The Run For A Million.
Getting Involved
For those who see The Jump For A Million and feel inspired, the good news is that getting started in dock diving is easier than it might seem. NADD’s website offers a list of participating facilities, many of which offer beginner lessons and training opportunities. All breeds are welcome, and the organization has seen success stories from Labs, Shepherds, Spaniels, Terriers, and even a few Chihuahuas.
“We get asked all the time, ‘How do I get my dog into this?’” Kristin said. “The answer is simple. Find a facility, start small, and just see what your dog can do. Any dog can jump. Any person can compete. It is truly a sport for everyone.”
There are junior handler divisions, adult categories, and options for every experience level. And thanks to the popularity of the sport, new facilities are opening each year to meet the demand.
A Perfect Match
As the horse world continues to grow and attract new fans, creative events like The Jump For A Million help bridge the gap between communities. The pairing of worldclass riders and high-flying dogs adds energy and fun to an already packed schedule. For Steve and Kristin, it is about more than putting on a show. “It’s about showing what dogs are capable of,” Kristin said. “It is about celebrating the bond between dogs and their people. And it is about giving these animals a moment to shine.”
Whether you are a lifelong dog lover or someone who has never seen dock diving before, you are in for a treat. So take a break from the main arena, head over to Priefert 2, and catch a glimpse of these talented and athletic dogs.

Youth Reiners Reflect on Their Path to Las Vegas
Each August, the lights of Las Vegas shine a little brighter for the reining community. The Run For A Million has become the ultimate proving ground for professionals, but it’s the Youth Reining Challenge that delivers some of the week’s most heartfelt moments. In 2025, that spotlight widens, thanks to the addition of three regional qualifiers designed to make the journey to Vegas more accessible for youth riders across the country.
Held at cornerstone events like the Florida Reining Classic in Jacksonville, the Cactus Reining Classic in Scottsdale, and the NRBC in Tulsa, these qualifiers give more young riders a chance to compete for a coveted spot in the TRFAM Youth Challenge. For competitors like Millie Jean Piper, Michelle Fumagalli, Adele Cunningham, and Delaney Lee, it’s more than just another show. It’s a chance to ride alongside the best and prove that the future of the sport is already in the arena.
Millie Jean Piper: A Kid, a Dream, and a Grumpy Old Soul
Thirteen-year-old Millie Jean Piper remembers exactly how she felt during her qualifying run at the NRBC. “It was one of the most exciting runs I’ve ever had,” she said. “My friends were there, my family was there, and the whole Nathan Piper crew was cheering me on.”
Millie will bring Never Outta Dough to Las Vegas, a horse she describes as a bit of an old soul. “He acts grumpy, like an old man, but he’s got a sweet side,” she joked. Their partnership is built on heart and hustle, and it’s clear that this young rider is soaking up every moment of the ride.
Her journey started early. She was just four when she climbed on a pony named Sid, after the sloth from Ice Age. Now, she dreams of showing a three-year-old
at the NRHA Futurity in the future. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to show at Southpoint,” she said. “This will prepare me for the highest level of competition.”
Michelle Fumagalli: College Life and the Road to Vegas
Balancing college classes with competitive reining isn’t for the faint of heart, but Michelle Fumagalli has found her stride. Riding for Auburn University during the school year, she spends her summers sharpening her skills in the arena. This year, she qualified at the Cactus Reining Classic aboard Peptos Big Stop, affectionately known as Rudy.
“He’s super consistent,” Michelle said. “I’ve aimed to qualify every year, and this time I finally did it.”
Training under Dan Huss has been a game-changer. “He helps you visualize the ride before it ever happens,” she said. “You go in more prepared, more focused, and you ride with more confidence.”
For Michelle, horses have taught more than just how to show. They’ve shaped how she handles pressure, builds trust, and adapts to the unexpected. “Even when you’ve done all the work, you’re still working with another brain,” she said. “It teaches you to stay in the moment.”
Adele Cunningham: A Sister’s Push and a Champion’s Mentality
Riding out of Texas Christian University, 19-year-old Adele Cunningham has racked up quite the résumé. She’s a world champion, a past top-five finisher at TRFAM, and a standout on TCU’s equestrian team. But behind the accolades is a rider driven by her relationship with her older sister, Kaylene.
“We’ve always challenged each other,” Adele said. “It pushes us to be better.” Adele qualified for this year’s Youth Reining Challenge at both the NRBC and the American Paint Horse World Show aboard her mare Trash Enterprises. The connection is strong, and Adele is keeping her focus on consistent rides and preparation.
She’s also quick to credit the event’s organizers for spotlighting youth talent. “I’m really thankful to Taylor Sheridan for giving us this opportunity,” she said. “At some events, youth riders can feel like an afterthought, but not here. We’re treated like pros, and that means something.”
Delaney Lee: From College Apps to Reining Dreams
For 17-year-old Delaney Lee, the road to Las Vegas began with college applications. “I started riding to round out my resume,” she said. “But I fell in love with it.”
She qualified on her very first attempt at the Cactus Reining Classic aboard Hit The Walla, a gelding she calls Bobby. “He’s sweet, he always tries, and he’s all business in the pen,” she said. “But outside the arena, he’s a big love bug.”
Delaney trains out of El Dorado Hills, California, and juggles school with a growing list of competitive goals. What began as a strategic extracurricular quickly became a passion that now drives her schedule and ambitions. “I feel really blessed to be here,” she said. “This has been a wild and exciting journey.”
She also recognizes the importance of giving youth riders a platform. “Getting to ride in the same venue as the big trainers helps us grow. It shows we matter too.”
A New Chapter for Youth Reining
With the addition of regional qualifiers, The Run For A Million has opened the gate for more young competitors than ever before. Riders can now earn a ticket to Las Vegas without traveling across the country to do so, making the dream feel closer and more achievable.
Shannon Rafacz, who produces the Florida Reining Classic and attended TRFAM with her daughter last year, sees the value firsthand. “We’re working to create a special experience,” she said. “We want it to feel meaningful for every youth rider who steps into that pen.”
For Millie, Michelle, Adele, and Delaney, that meaning is already there. It’s in the late nights, the early mornings, the quiet moments in the barn, and the loud ones under the lights. These riders aren’t just showing up. They’re stepping forward as the future of the sport, ready to take their place on one of its biggest stages.
The Youth Reining Challenge continues to raise the bar, not just by offering a place to compete, but by recognizing the heart, drive, and potential that each young rider brings to the arena.
