Amy Wilson is joined on the EQN Sports Desk by Larry Bell, owner of Kalpowar Quarter Horses and title sponsor of the NRCHA's Celebration of Champions. Bell, alongside his wife Ellen, owns Parks Bell Ranch and Kalpowar Quarter Horses in Texas, continuing a deep-rooted family legacy in the ranching and Quarter Horse industries. A past Vice President and board member of the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA), Bell was inducted into the NRCHA Hall of Merit in 2017. Under his leadership, Kalpowar Quarter Horses became the title sponsor of the NRCHA Celebration of Champions, reflecting his commitment to the sport. The operation is co-managed by their son, Matthew Bell, and NRCHA Million Dollar Rider Jake Gorrell. With Ellen’s grandfather, Roy Parks, also a former AQHA president and Hall of Fame inductee, the Bell family has played a pivotal role in shaping the reined cow horse and ranching industries.
The World’s Greatest Horseman is one of the most prestigious and challenging events in the reined cow horse industry. Hosted by the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA), this elite competition is held annually at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas, as part of the NRCHA Celebration of Champions. The event tests the ultimate versatility, skill, and partnership between horse and rider across four demanding disciplines: herd work, rein work, steer stopping, and fence work. Only the most elite horsemen and their exceptional horses can compete for the coveted title, making it one of the most thrilling and prestigious events in the Western performance horse world.
