Meet the horses vying for top horse honors at the World Championship Ranch Rodeo.

Each year the during the Working Ranch Cowboys Association World Championship Ranch Rodeo, two of the five cowboys on each team are given the opportunity to nominate their good ranch horses to be in the running for WRCA Top Horse Award.
