Cody Mora
Cody Mora started his days on horseback in Fortuna, California. His grandfather, Rudy Mora, was a well-respected cowman. With two auction yards to run, he needed help and would round up Cody and his brothers. Starting them very young he would put them on a horse, and expected the three to help in back while he auctioneered. His grandfather passed away when he was 12 but will never be forgotten as most people don’t forget their idol. “As I look back I can honestly say that it was my grandfather that gave me the tools I needed to pursue my life long passions.”
He left Fortuna in 1998 in order to pursue his dreams and expand his horizons. He moved to San Luis Obispo where he started Cuesta College and learned the value of an education. It was then that he also started working for Rancho Arroyo Grande and it was here that he has stayed to pursue his dream. “There are not many people that can wake up and do what they love, and I thank the Lord every day for the opportunity to rope and train horses for a living.”
His family still continues with the tradition of running the auction yard where he worked with his brothers. At age 15 his parents partnered with a valued friend and started West Coast Rodeo Company. Starting with only 5 rodeos and working as a family, the business has now grown and puts on rodeos all up and down California. It is truly a family event. His brother Ty would fight bulls, Justin runs the shoots, Cody is the Pick Up Man and competes in the Team Roping while Mike and Byrd keep it all together with their partner Lou.
Cody has competed in both PRCA and CCPRA rodeos his whole life. He has also starting showing Working Cow Horses in the NRCHA and Snaffle Bit Futurity.
Nataushia
Morales
My name is Nataushia Morales and I have been competing in Barrel Racing for almost three years. In 2014 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer, following a 5 year battle with Stage 2B. Although I grew up in Texas with horses, I never competed in any equine discipline. In early 2020 my treatment options ended. I needed to do something big. In May 2020, I borrowed a horse and decided to teach myself how to barrel race. With the help of my best friend and several ladies in the rodeo world, I did just that! After my first year of competing, I was the NBHA California Senior Reserve Champion and NBHA World Qualifier. After getting my step-up horse, I worked hard every day. With cancer spreading in my spine, hips and legs, it was getting a little more difficult to ride "like a barrel racer." I had to make adjustments and learn to ride with my disabilities. After completing my second year of competing, I qualified on two horses for NBHA World, finished in the top 30 in WCBRA and top 10 in Triple Seven Barrel Racing Association. I have become stronger and more confident and entered my first CCPRA rodeo. In less than 3 years of competing, I have won 4 buckles and 2 saddles. With the love of horses, competing and the will to keep living, I will never give up! I couldn't have done any of this without the amazing athletes that take care of me; Jax King Caesar (JC), Frost This Gal (Lizzie), Misstreakinbyyou (Byyou.) I am not in remission and never will be. But I will keep fighting and hope to inspire others to never quit.

Dennis Reis
Hi, I'm Dennis Reis. My life is devoted to the practice of horsemanship because the nature of the horse is what rings true to me, both inside and outside the arena. Over the years I have developed principles which are based on age-old horse handling methods. For over 28 years I have been teaching these methods and principles. The goal of my workshops is that you leave with a better understanding of how to communicate with your horse.
I have worked with and learned from some of the greatest horsemen and women of our time. I have also had the opportunity to teach riders from all disciplines and worked with horses of all breeds. Over the years I have learned several truths about horses. One is that a horse never lies. The horse will be exactly as good as his human. When he has a choice, the horse will always make his own decision. And that decision will always be a reflection of you, the human. The nature of the horse is universal, no matter what discipline he is trained for or what breed he is.
My Universal Horsemanship workshops are taught in an environment where the horse is allowed to express himself. Students learn about the horse's true nature through exercises that encourage the horse to make his own decisions without restraint or force. I also teach skills that enable students to act as herd leader to their horses. Because my students work with the horse's nature instead of trying to control it, they have willing, happy, safe horses.

Charlie "Too Tall" West
Charlie "Too Tall" West has been a professional barrelman for 25 years. In fact, he is the smallest barrelman in the world, measuring in at 4'6" tall. He got in the barrel at 18years old on a dare, and the barrel was so large he had to put a mattress inside to take up the extra room! Charlie survived that weekend of getting rammed by bulls and actually thought it was fun!
Charlie's mother was a rodeo secretary, so Charlie grew up around rodeos and fairs. As a kid, Charlie was in 4H and raised pigs. In high school he ream roped and rode bulls, but after getting slam-dunked off too many bulls, Charlie said to heck with ridin gand decided to try his hand at being a barrelman. Charlie has a miniature horse named Molly, and his two Jack Russell terriers Mickey and Sport. Mickey does a dig fish act, Sport does a dog catcher act and Charlie does a Little Elvis act as well! In addition to rodeos, Charlie visits hospitals and rest homes.
Charlie has worked in numerous PBR events and works at the NFR rolling out the red carpet every night. Charlie has a SAG Card and has worked in numerous commercials, City Slickers and Deadwood.
In his spare time, Charlie raises miniature horses in Loomis with his wife Mitch. Charlie's favorite thing is beating his friends at golf. He rodeos nearly 12 months a year, and most of his jobs are in California, but he has worked rodeos in Hawaii, Alaska and Canada. What Charlie loves most about rodeos is seeing the smiles on peoples faces, the applause from the crowd and all of the interesting people he meets.
