CHRIS COX CELEBRITY CUTTING CELEBRATES COURAGE

For horse enthusiasts looking for great family fun, attendees of the Pacific Coast Cutting Derby were hosted and entertained by nationally acclaimed horse clinician, Chris Cox. Along with the Pacific Coast Association, Chris held a special horse clinic and celebrity cutting demonstration to raise funds for Western Wishes and rewarding the fighting spirit of two exceptional kids. Along with highlighting the sport of cutting, Chris put on a live demonstration of how to handle a real problem horse.
 

Singer-composer Bernie Taupin, responsible for a majority of Elton John’s classic hits, a cutting horse competitor, and former owner of the PBR bucking bull of the year, Little Yellow Jacket, humbly attended the charity event to support Western Wishes. Along with stuntman and producer, Billy Burton, actor Steve Ford (son of former President Gerald Ford) and Miss Rodeo California, Ashley Hoffman, the celebrities proved, along with Chris Cox, that they had hearts bigger than their names.

But the real celebrities….the true heroes, were two California high school rodeo kids displaying unusual courage and focus. Rachael M. and Matt P. are example a fighting spirit and determination to get “back in the saddle again”, and beat the odds. Chris Cox dedicated the event to these amazing kids battling cancer who possess a fierce competitive spirit to get through a tough time.

PCCHA president, Phil Benedum, along with Chris Cox tour director, Katy Nichols, and PR director for the PCCHA, Sherry Forest, did an exceptional job of bringing this special event to Paso Robles.

“We are thrilled with the alliance between Western Wishes and the Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association, and will be eternally grateful for Chris Cox’s continued support for Western Wishes,” said president/founder, Donnalyn Quintana (pictured here with Chris Cox).

Thanks Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association for setting the stage and showing that these kids not only are fierce competitors in rodeo, like Lane Frost, but also in the arena of life!
