Trainers

In 2008, Cesar married Arena and the two have gone on to raise 3 boys he affectionately refers to as his “Wolfpack”. Camilo, Gio & Zorro are all as passionate about rodeo as Cesar was as a kid and idolize their dad. Arena is an accomplished horsewoman herself, sharing the women’s all-around championship at the 2008 College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming. Arena is the glue that keeps the operation, horses, and home together! You will often find the two coaching and mentoring as a team, as well as travelling with the boys to Junior Rodeos, High School Rodeos, and local jackpots.

After stepping back from full time rodeo Cesar has developed a coaching & lesson program locally, as well as travelling internationally to assist ropers in clinics & roping schools all over the USA and Canada. His biggest passion is working with young ropers, and helping them solidify the fundamentals of roping safely, with purpose and ability.

He has also taken the opportunity to apply his training knowledge to the Rope Horse Futurity industry, showcasing his ability to train and show young equine athletes. Partnering with Phillips Ranch LLC has given Cesar the opportunity to focus on developing quality horses that are bred and willing to go to work.

His passion for horses has also led him down the path of assisting buyers through the process of horse purchases. He assists riders and ropers of all levels in purchasing an equine partner that is suitable to the buyer’s goals, level, and individual style of riding/roping. His goal is to ensure that the perfect and life long partnership is found.
