The teams for the American Performance Horseman have been chosen!
In a mix of cutting, cow horse, and reining spectacularism, Teton Ridge will put on the American Performance Horseman during the American rodeo. It will air Friday, March 10th. The top five riders from the National Cutting Horse Association, the National Reining Horse Association, and the National Reined Cow Horse Association will be competing in their event for a million-dollar prize.
Aside from competing individually for the title, the riders will also be paired in teams. Each team will have one cow horse rider, one cutting rider, and one reining rider. They are each designated by a color and were chosen by a draw at random.
