W The SouthWest Chat


elcome to the May issue of SouthWest Horse Trader. This month features Transportation & Vacation. We’ve have a variety of interesting articles on trans-


portation both internationly and domestically and a great piece on Dude Ranches for the Experienced Rider. I am totally in- triqued by the beauty offered by all of the locations and I’m going to put a couple of them on my bucket list. Whether you agree with it or not, the Million Dollar Rein-


ing is going forward for Vegas in August. Here’s a bit about it. THE RUN FOR A MILLION is the richest event in the


history of western equine sports. The event will be hosted by the prestigious South Point Arena and Equestrian Center in Las Vegas, Nevada from August 15-17. Twelve riders, including some of the most accomplished NRHA Professionals in the history of Reining, will compete for a purse of $1,000,000. Academy-Award nominee Taylor Sheridan, writer of


HELL OR HIGH WATER and SICARIO, WRITER/DI- RECTOR of WIND RIVER and co-creator of YELLOW- STONE, wanted to design a venue that showcased the talent of both horse and rider in one of the most demanding equine sports in existence: Reining. Sheridan has partnered with Amanda Brumley, Brumley Management Group producer of three National Reining Horse Association leading events world-wide, to create and produce this one of a kind event. THE RUN FOR A MILLION offers the unprecedented


opportunity to introduce millions of viewers to the sport of Reining. In addition to the main event there will be a $100,000 Shoot Out, open to all Reiners and horses. On top of the tremendous prize money, the top five riders in the Shoot Out Fi- nals will be guaranteed a position in the 2020 Million Dollar In- vitational at THE RUN FOR A MILLION. Other performances include THE RUN FOR A MILLION


Rookie Championships, $50,000 Non Pro Championships and $50,000 Invitational Freestyle. The first set of riders qualified
