"Champion of the Western World" is one of the funniest episodes of The High Chaparral. Billy Blue (Mark Slade) sees a beautiful silver saddle, which he wants to buy. The price is much too high so he decides he has to win the prize money for the 4th July Rodeo. Joe (Bob Hoy) at first wants the saddle for himself, but after the ranch-hands decide to join forces when they are provoked by a cowboy from another ranch. Even Big John Cannon (Leif Erickson), despite his 'old age' takes part in the contest. Lots of funny scenes with the bunkhouse boys and exchanges between Blue and Paddy O'Binnian (Charles Aidman) who he has to fight in this episode. Very good episode for Mark Slade, but with lots of room for the other characters as well.
