The National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) announced the top eight riders invited to The Run For A Million Cow Horse Event from the Teton Ridge Stallion Stakes qualifier.
Out of an 83-horse field, it took a 440 composite score to earn an invitation to the cow horse event, which will be held August 17-20. Nick Dowers riding Santiago Time, for owner Clinton Marshall topped the field with a 444 and secured a check for $8,835.

It took 10 gold heading buckles to win the inaugural BFI Legends Roping, and Speed Williams and Matt Sherwood were the over-40 guys who brought their best game to the world-famous Lazy E Arena on April 1 to get it done. Eight-time champ of the world Williams, 54, headed for two-time world heading titlist Sherwood, 52, as one of 34 teams entered that treated the crowd to a sweet real-time walk down memory lane.
“Are you kidding me, I won $20,000 for roping with Speed Williams?” Sherwood grinned at roping’s end. “I’ve never run a steer with the best header in the world ever to live. To be able to keep my composure and do my job is very rewarding to me personally. What a fun situation to find myself in.”

The inaugural $17,000-added BO Ranch Kickoff closed with the sun shining and happy faces. Thanks to the beautiful and functional facility located in the French horse capital, riders had the chance to show in the best conditions.

Youth riders opened the final day of the inaugural BO RANCH Kickoff Show where taking the win with a great 141 score in the AMBTIP NRHA Youth 14-18 was Lilou Duputel piloting her own 17-year-old gelding Doctors Orders (NRHA Two Million Dollar Sire Shiners Voodoo Dr x Smart Dickory Doll). Second place, a point behind, went to her sister Inès aboard Jean Baptiste Du Putel's ARH Lucky Whiz Dunit (Don Quintana x Style Holly Dun It).

La Chapelle-La-Reine, April 2—Provided by International Horse Press— The weather at the $17,500-Added BO Ranch Kickoff chilly, but the riders certainly warmed up those around them with their performances today!

The evening closed with the $5,000-Added Chateaux Prestige NRHA Open and $2500-Added MMA Intermediate Open. The exciting class saw Stefano Ferri and Lil Modern Spark (Spark N Whiz x Lil White Gun) owned by BO Ranch tie for top honors in the Open with Axel Pesek riding his own Reloaded Gun (NRHA Thirteen Million Dollar Sire Gunner x Shes Berry Flashy) who also claimed the Intermediate Open with a 147 score.

La Chapelle-La-Reine, April 1—Provided by International Horse Press— The BO Ranch Show inaugural $17,500-Added KICKOFF provided more exciting competition on the second day of the event.

It was a very special day for 2021 NRHA Non Pro World Champions Nikolai Stiller and his mount Hollywood Gunrunner (NRHA Thirteen Million Dollar Sire Gunner x  Dun It For Missy). The duo topped the $3,500-Added Quarter Dream NRHA Non Pro with a great 144.5 score, proving their winning streak has moved on to 2022. “We purchased this mare when she was 6 months old and have gone a long way since,” said a smiling Stiller after his winning run.

It was nearly three decades ago that Nathan Piper showed for the first time in a National Reining Horse Association-sanctioned event. He and Faith Dry Doc topped the Youth 14–18 class at a Texas Reining Horse Association show, and the scene was set for a career that would take him to the highest levels of reining competition.

When you’re hot, you’re hot. Arizona’s James Arviso and Oklahoma’s Landen Glenn haven’t had many chances to rope together yet in their young careers. But the 18-year-old high school seniors have already found chemistry, and the ability to come through in the clutch and close the deal when it really counts. Coming from third high call, Arviso and Glenn roped four steers in 32.93 seconds and struck for the $25,000 win Thursday at the 2022 Hooey Jr BFI Open at the world-famous Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
If Arviso’s shy grin and humble words seem familiar, it’s because he’s cut from the same cloth as his Uncle Derrick Begay. James is the son of Derrick’s sister, Jamie, and her husband, John Arviso.
