Cory Bourque Horsemanship

Happy Monday! ☀️
Nothing says "starting the week off right" like a good old-fashioned list of barn chores. Feed buckets to fill, stalls to clean, water tanks to check, hay to throw, and horses waiting on breakfast like they're paying the bills. 🤠🐴
It may not be glamorous, but these daily chores are where great horsemanship begins. Every scoop, every bucket, and every early morning is another chance to care for the animals that give us so much.
Here's to dirty boots, sore muscles, and another great week at the barn. Let's get after it! 💪🐎

Don't miss out! Great price drop.

Wednesday Reality Check...

Normal people: "We're halfway through the week!"

Horse people: "It's only Wednesday?! I still have stalls to clean, horses to ride, tack to clean, hay to stack, and somehow I'm already behind." 🤣🐴

Wouldn't trade this life for anything. ❤️

Phahahaha! I dont think the rubber boots are working this morning. 🤔 Draining water out of them. One of the many joys of owning cows.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of working with some lovely Arabian and Saddlebred horses. All of the horses are showing progress since our initial visit with them. We are looking forward to witnessing further development and observing their journey.

Cant wait to watch this in person, however for our friends and clients here's your chance to watch too.

The horses, riders and competition that have helped make The Run For A Million one of the premier events in Western performance horse sports are coming to a nationwide television audience.

Taylor Sheridan’s 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐔𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 will air Saturday, August 22, from 8 to 10 p.m. ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and will also be available on Paramount+.*

Sheridan, who created The Run For A Million and serves as an executive producer of the CBS special, will call the action from the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center/South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas. He will be accompanied by industry expert Steve Ross Reining & Performance Horses, NRHA - National Reining Horse Association Professional and Million Dollar Rider Gunny Mathison Reining Horses, and guest commentator 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐠, one of the most accomplished non pro riders in the reining industry.

The two-hour special will take viewers inside the Million Dollar Competition, where 16 of the world’s leading reining riders will guide their horses through a demanding pattern of circles, spins and sliding stops in pursuit of the event’s championship and a share of the $1 million purse.

Created by Sheridan in 2019, The Run For A Million was designed to give reining and the Western performance horse industry a stage unlike any it had experienced before. Seven years later, the event has become a gathering place for the industry’s leading horses, riders, owners and fans, while introducing new audiences to the athleticism, precision and connection between horse and rider.

For the competitors, The Run For A Million represents the opportunity to earn one of reining’s most sought-after titles. For the horses, it is a chance to perform on the sport’s biggest stage. For fans, the CBS broadcast offers a closer look at the competition, people and horses that have made Las Vegas an annual destination for the Western performance horse community.

The riders competing in the Million Dollar Competition are:
• Jason Vanlandingham Reining Horses, Whitesboro, Texas
• Andrea Fappani, Scottsdale, Arizona
• Kole Price Performance Horses, Pilot Point, Texas
• Casey Deary Performance Horses, Weatherford, Texas
• Cade McCutcheon Reining Horses, Aubrey, Texas
• Gina Maria Schumacher, Gordonville, Texas
• Dany Tremblay, Marietta, Oklahoma
• Gabriel Borges, Ardmore, Oklahoma
• Francesco Martinotti Performance Horses, Whitesboro, Texas
• Ben Beckett Performance Horses, West Mansfield, Ohio
• Trevor Dare Reining Horses, Purcell, Oklahoma
• Alessandro Frassa, Italy
• Arno Honstetter Performance, Scottsdale, Arizona
• Mirko Midili, Norman, Oklahoma
• Martin Muehlstaetter Performance Horses, Scottsdale, Arizona
• Fernando Salgado Reining Horses, Gainesville, Texas

The competitors and the road leading to The Run For A Million have also been featured throughout six seasons of Sheridan’s CMT documentary series 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐖𝐁𝐎𝐘. Produced by Truly Original, the series takes viewers inside the professional reining industry and follows the riders, horses, and teams preparing to compete at the highest level.

The seventh season of THE LAST COWBOY will air on CMT later this fall. All previous seasons are available on Paramount+.

THE RUN FOR A MILLION is produced by Truly Original, a Banijay Entertainment company. Executive producers are Taylor Sheridan, Glenda Hersh, Steven Weinstock, David C. Glasser, Julie “Bob” Lombardi, Andrea Richter and Apryl Richards.

*Paramount+ Premium plan subscribers will have access to stream the special live through their local CBS affiliate’s live feed. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will have access to the special on demand beginning the following day.

Campfire burgers, s'mores, and watching Secretariat! Finding Mr. Cory in all his roles in the movie was a great way to spend our last night at horse camp. 🍔🎬

From freezing in the classroom to all smiles in the arena to possibly needing a nap on the mounting block! 🥶😁😴
Hard life of kids horse camp in a heat wave, thankful for the breeze from Tropical Storm Bertha.

🔥 Kids Camp Update: Heat, Horses & Staying Safe 🐴☀️🌴
South Louisiana is definitely reminding us it's summertime! With an Extreme Heat Warning, heat index values climbing to 113°-117°, and now keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Bertha, we're making safety our number one priority.
Horse camp doesn't stop—we just adapt! You'll find our campers taking plenty of breaks in front of the big fans, staying hydrated, cooling off often, and spending extra time in the shade. The horses are getting the same treatment with lots of water, fans, and frequent rest breaks.
One of the greatest lessons we can teach isn't just horsemanship—it's learning to care for both ourselves and our horses in every situation. That means recognizing when it's time to slow down, cool off, and make smart decisions.
Thank you to all of our camp families for trusting us with your kiddos. We're keeping a close eye on the weather, watching Tropical Storm Bertha, and we'll continue to adjust our schedule as needed to keep everyone safe.
Stay cool, stay hydrated, and say a little prayer for everyone in Bertha's path. ❤️🙏🐴

Great teamwork happened on Day 1 of Kids Horse Camp! 🐴🐎
