We watched the episodes as a family. Then went to Las Vegas as a family to watch the 'Run For A Million'. The horses, competitors, and fans were great. These horses are the crème of the crop and well taken care of. Glad Paramount has renewed the show..

Great show not happy with the execution
angieswonderland22 August 2019
I am so happy we finally have a TV show on reining horses, it is focused a lot of personal lives and does not show near enough riding. It would have been great if she tv show was executed like the tv series horsepower: road to mcclay. Also was not happy that I could not watch the run for the million like because paramount's contract and the episode of the run for the million is being show 2 weeks after the competition. I hope changes are made next year. I will continue to watch.
Great Subject, Poor Production

As a competitive rider, I love that this competition is being shown. BUT, it could be so much better and draw more viewers (and ratings) if it were produced differently.
Observations after four seasons: Explain how the competition is judged. What makes a horse and rider gain or lose points? (e.g. In slow motion, show and contrast a perfect spin or slide to one that considered inferior.) Explain the different type of horseshoes used. Why the riders use leg wraps. Show the various bits being used for training and showing. And other equipment used. Explain the prize money split between owners and riders.
The camera work during the finals in Season 4 was all over the place without holding still long enough to really see anything. Those overhead shots, looking straight down, are dramatic but don't show the horse or rider. And I don't need to see shots of the audience over and over and over. The actual events take place so fast, it is hard to see differences. Producers should take a page from football on TV and use instant-replay to show great and explain moves.
Every week the same questions are asked of the same riders, with pretty much the same answers given. This just gets boring.
Great horses, riders and competition. Just don't see how the material as presented will hold viewers.

Solid work by Taylor Sheridan

First of all, Reining is NOT horse abuse, as one goofball put in a review. Great care is taken with these horses, and they are treated with respect. Horses are happiest when they have a job, whether that is trail riding, working cattle or performance. These horses are top-notch athletes and beautiful to watch.
The Last Cowboy is well done, and it doesn't get lost in the minutia. It's easy enough to follow for novice horse folks, but detailed enough for those that live in the horse world. Very entertaining. Would love to see more TV centered on equines.

BEST REALITY COMPETITION SHOW EVER
holchie5 December 2021
I would give it 11+ stars if I could. Such a genuine set of people and great insight into an aspect of life most people are not exposed to. The photography is great and a good show for the whole family to get into. Only thing, you might end up wanting to buy a horse!
LOVE IT!!!
