At the NRCHA Celebration of Champions, spectators see not one, but three major events the NRCHA World Championship, the World's Greatest Horseman and the SRCHA Derby.

In the NRCHA World Championship Show the top ten horses and riders from each of the NRCHA's geographic regions compete for World Championship titles in eleven exciting events.

In the World's Greatest Horseman, it is all about "One horse, one rider and one very special title." And that's one of the most prestigious titles in the horse world - representing a skill in both training and riding that few achieve. In one bit, horses of any age and any breed compete in four contests - herd work, rein work, steer stopping and cow work.

The NRCHA Celebration of Champions also includes the Circle Y Derby, where the nation's top 4 and 5-year-old cow horses are shown in herd, rein and cow work!

The NRCHA Celebration of Champions brings a host of cow horse participants and fans and the payout and prizes are slated to exceed $450,000!

With an expected 450-plus entries and 10,000 or more spectators the event will bring millions of dollars into the San Angelo Community and the total economic impact should exceed $6.75 million (based on American Horse Council Economic Impact Formula).
