The Million-Dollar Award was created in 2006 by the NRCHA Board of Directors to honor the riders who have surpassed one million dollars in earnings. The first recipient passed that mark some time ago and as of his induction in 2006,  Ted Robinson’s earnings actually exceed $1.8 million. He is one of the winningest riders in the history of the reined cow horse, with seven NRCHA Open Snaffle Bit Futurity® Championships and two World’s Greatest Horseman titles to his name.
