The creator of hit TV show Yellowstone and a bona fide cowboy himself, Taylor Sheridan established the Run for a Million to celebrate the elite Western sport of horse reining and expand the public’s awareness of it. 

If you've watched Sheridan's nail-biting documentary series The Last Cowboy, you won't be surprised to hear that defending TRFAM champion Jason Vanlandingham, NRHA Derby Open Champion Casey Deary, and reining legend Andrea Fappani have all qualified for The Run For A Million 2024. They'll be joined by a European qualifier: Ann Fonck of Belgium. Expect more skilled displays of horsemanship, including disciplined stops, circles and spins. 

The Run for a Million 2023 will host multiple prize-winning competitions between August 12-17, including the $200,000 Cutting Horse Challenge. But it’s the thrilling main event on Saturday that should draw the biggest crowds, with 16 riders and their steeds hoping to outperform the competition and score the lion’s share of a million bucks.

You don’t have to go to Las Vegas to enjoy the spectacular showmanship. Below, we'll show you how to watch the 2024 Run for a Million online from anywhere in the world.
