Riding the Runway: Couture Hits Exchange Avenue on Horseback

Western fashion, legendary riders and a red-carpet runway land in the Fort Worth Stockyards on November 1, the same day MARK541 TV premieres on Roku.

On Sunday, November 1, 2026, the bricks of East Exchange Avenue become a runway, and the models arrive on horseback. Riding the Runway, billed as "The Original Horseback Fashion Show," rides into the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards with Western couture, show horses and a night that feels made for Texas.

Gates open at 5:00 p.m. VIP guests sit down to a four-course dinner from Reata at 5:45. The show starts at 6:30, with horseback looks coming off Rodeo Plaza onto a red carpet down Exchange Avenue. Guests walk in under the Stockyards arch, and VIP tables and general-admission rows line the carpet.

Double D Ranch presents the show. Brands named on the official pages include Turquoise & Co., American Hat Company, Fenoglio, Fincher's Whitefront, Wrangler and Western Legacy. Double D says about 30 looks will ride. Justin McKee and Shelly Mowery host. In the saddle are legendary horsewoman Lindy Burch, Matt and Tara Gaines, and a deep roster of Western riders listed on the event site.

The Stockyards page names the Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame 2027 Scholarship Fund as the charity it benefits. Lyndsie Montgomery of Revere & Co. shares her vision for the show on ridingtherunway.com. Other sponsors include Blackland Distillery, Performance Stall Mats, Double E Ranch & Venue, Barcelona Custom Homes, Market Moves, Grissom's Fine Jewelry, Rafter T Ranch Co., 3C Wealth Management and Sarah Marie Salon.

VIP is sold out. General admission is $125 for the show only, and the price goes up $50 on the day. Stockyards self-parking is $22.50 plus tax and fees, card only, and valet is $25 at 122 E. Exchange. Text RUNWAY1 to 88000 for Double D's teasers.

Hats, horses and heritage on one stretch of brick, and for MARK541 readers, it's the same day MARK541 TV goes live on Roku. Fashion in the saddle, a channel premiere at sunrise. Only in Texas.
