About Joseph Harrison

Harrison is a six-time Wrangler NFR qualifier (2017-22) with more than $1.1 million in career earnings. His best year came in 2020, when he and Luke Brown won The American and he finished third in the world. He has won some of the biggest rodeos on the map, including Cheyenne Frontier Days in 2018 and the Reno Rodeo in 2019, both with Chad Masters. In 2026, he won five rodeos, including Franklin, Tennessee, and the Will Rogers Stampede in Claremore, Oklahoma.

When he’s not rodeoing, Harrison trains horses for a living, and that work has made him one of the top names in the rope horse futurity world. He won the $100,000 Solo Select Futurity heeling on Dont Stopp Trackin in 2025, won and placed second in the ARHFA World Show pre-futurity heeling that fall, and won the Old West pre-futurity heeling on Royal Nites in October 2026.
