December 20, 2002 – The 2003 dates and site for the World's Greatest Horseman competition have been announced and the highly popular event will take place June 5, 6 & 7 in Amarillo, Texas.

According to the National Reined Cow Horse Association, the World's Greatest Horseman, presented by Western Horseman, will be held in conjunction with Cowboy Roundup USA – a yearly festival of all things "cowboy" that takes place each year in Amarillo.

"One Horse – One Rider and One Very Important Title" has been the credo for the World's Greatest competition since its inception. The contest features top horsemen and women competing in the traditional cow horse All Around events. Cutting, reining, steer stopping and cow work are all featured.

NRCHA President (and two-time World's Greatest Horseman) Ted Robinson is looking forward to presenting the excitement of the World's Greatest Horseman competition to the Cowboy Roundup audience.  "It's an opportunity to reach a whole new group of people," Robinson said. "And with an audience like this, with such an appreciation for western history, we feel that the tradition of the NRCHA will find a brand new set of fans. We're also thrilled to have Western Horseman on board as the presenting sponsor."

More than 20,000 people attend Cowboy Roundup USA each year for activities from the Coors Ranch Rodeo, to an AQHA Versatility Ranch Horse Show to a Cowboy Gear Show and Sale. Chuckwagon cooking competition, horsemanship seminars, an Ice Cream Crank-off and dancing, rodeo and singing are all featured. There's even a Washer Pitchin' Championship.
