His earnings in the National Reining Horse Association exceed $866,000, and he is a two-time United States Equestrian Federation Champion.

In the reined cow horse world, Crawford passed the million dollar mark in 2006, when he won the Snaffle Bit Futurity on Smart Crackin Chic, and was the association’s leading open rider in 1999, 2005-2007, and 2009.

He achieved $2 million rider status at the 2011 NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity, and he now has NRCHA earnings of $2,012,000.
Crawford won over $75,000 on five horses during the Snaffle Bit Futurity, led by Cat Can Dew with $38,875. He also won money on Fancy Boons N All, Sinful Cat, Hes A Stylish Rey, and Ill Be Skeets.

Crawford, who began showing cow horses in the late ‘80s, noted, “You try be competitive at every event you show in, and, for me, that’s where the excitement comes from. Winning this much is just a bi-product of doing what I love.” He was quick to give credit to his wife, Pam, and his family, for being a large part of his success. He added, “I also have a great group of sponsors who support me. Over the years I’ve been blessed with wonderful owners who have given me the opportunity to have some very talented horses. All of them deserve a big thank you as well.”

Crawford has been involved in the reined cow horse industry as an executive board member in the past, and has just been re-elected to the Board for 2012. - NRCHA
Aug 2011 - Faith Performance Horses Derby Open
The Derby Open was won by Moms Silverado Cat and Todd Crawford with a 439. The red roan stallion is owned by Rhodes River Ranch and was the high score in the herd work and tied for first in the rein work as well, to win a total of $3,419.

Crawford has had Moms Silverado Cat (High Brow Cat x Moms Stylish Pepto x Peptoboonsmal) since June of 2010. He’s pretty laid-back, cowy, and likes his job, according to Crawford, who said the horse was easy to work with.

Crawford is taking Mom Silverado Cat to the NRCHA Derby in Arizona. He was happy with all of the horse’s runs, but felt that they just didn’t have the degree of difficulty on the cow work to score higher than 143. “He did just what he needed to do, as far as what the cow was,” Crawford said. - QHN
Jan 2011 - World's Greatest Horseman

After Randy Paul and Smokeelan marked a 223 at the end of the first set of the Rein Work of the World’s Greatest Horseman preliminaries, spectators in the stands might have thought that high score couldn’t be beat. If they had ended the competition on the second-to-last horse, they would have been right.

But Blanchard, Oklahoma, trainer Todd Crawford rode in as the last entry of the day – Play Dual Rey – and took the lead by a point with a 224.
